Lyrics

Define a Transparent Dream

Work over the surface and into the distance

Constantly showering me with decision

Define a transparent dream

Dr-dr-dr-dream dr-dr-dr-dream dr-dr-dr-dream

Define a transparent dream

Dr-dr-dr-dream dr-dr-dr-dream dr-dr-dr-dream

Feel the atmosphere breathe with life

Model portrait heads of Gertrude Stein

Define a transparent dream

Dr-dr-dr-dream dr-dr-dr-dream dr-dr-dr-dream

Define a transparent dream

Dr-dr-dr-dream dr-dr-dr-dream dr-dr-dr-dream

So it's back and forth again

Dreaming on the doorstep

The always red society

Comes to visit me

Well I'm dreamin' of a sunset

Juice and coffee in the morning

After staring at the stars all night

The always blue society

Wraps rings around the sun

Saturn too

All night

Night

Night
