Every single night in bed
A black cross says: "Perhaps
you're getting better
I'd like to thank you for your
efforts
To promote what really matters
Whenever you're about to fall
Remember this, it's not a news flash
Don't pretend to know it all, but go
ahead
Call it a cocoon crash
What I really see in you
Is nothing like the things you do
As you are doing them, right now
What you would really love to win
To become the air as well as trash
Is to get rid of all your skin
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
Call it what you will, call it what
you will
Go ahead, call it a cocoon
crash"
Suddenly the ego that I used to have
Is no bigger than an eyelash
Clearly I remember someone told me
"Hold on tight, here's your cocoon crash
What I really see in you
Is nothing like the things you do
As you are doing them, right now
What you would really love to win
To become the air as well as trash
Is to get rid of all your skin
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
Call it what you will, call it what
you will
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
Call it what you will
Call it what you will, yeah (you
will)
Call it what you will, yeah (you
will)"
I saw an old woman in a wheelchair
On the highway yesterday
I saw an old woman in a wheelchair
On the highway yesterday
And as I asked her to pull over
To make sure no truck would hit her
She smiled and mumbled, 'okay,
whatever you say.'
And I said, 'I wonder why.'
She said, 'Girl, you're so naive
And you're too young to understand
I am now chasing my husband Stan
A pale man in a black suit came to
take him
In trade for a cup of tea
A pale man came to take him away
from me'
And I said, 'I see,' (and I really
did)
'You go and chase him, go ahead
And when you catch him will you send
him my love
And tell the pale man to make sure
To call before he comes to take me
too.
To take me too.'
(I saw an old woman...)
I'm sure you're only dreaming
You're only juggling with my mind
While I feel more and more like
screaming
For the scars you left behind
I'm sure you're only dreaming
I'm sure we're just a part
Of what the lucky man believes in
I'm sure you know this song by heart
You're only dreaming, I think I can
hear you talk
You're only dreaming, I think I can
hear you say, 'shut up'
You're only dreaming, I hope your
dream is in me
You're only dreaming you're free
You will show up while I'm dreaming
Out of nowhere cross my way
You will ask me not to scream and
You will smile and you will say,
'dear friend,
You're only dreaming, I think I can
hear you talk
You're only dreaming, I think I can
hear you say, 'shut up'
You're only dreaming, I hope your
dream is in me
You're only dreaming you're free
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming, dreaming...
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming, dreaming...'
In this quiet little place
I can't remember having known a
different pace
In this quiet little place
I can surrender to the beauty of its
face
And now everything I see
Whether it's an airplane or a tree
It makes me wonder
About the things I must have missed
And the chains around my wrists
They are no longer
In this quiet little place
I can't imagine what it's like to be
back home
Where they care about what time it
is
And spend their days answering the
phone
And now everything I feel
Whether it's fiction or it's real
It's so much clearer
Like the color of this light
It seems more dangerous and bright
But I don't fear her
And slowly it fades, I'm back in the
race
I have to fight it, I know
I don't want to go away
In this quiet little place
You run your fingers through my hair
and whisper "Hey"
And no matter how I try
I can't seem to think of anything
better to say
Thunder, please explain
Why you ask me how I am, I'm fine I
Wonder is it sane
To pierce purple eyeballs made of
china
I love you like a son, like a game I
have won
Like a toothbrush I used for the
Eiffel Tower
My youth, it is gone, it's a boot
stuck in the ground
Is there truth to be found in an
iron flower
Mmm, I will try hard to be a spark
of power
I will, I'll never be your iron
flower
Stone please explain
Why your silence makes more noise
than thunder
Bones; is it sane
To obey me and the flesh you're
under
Your words are soon gone and it
hurts, I have none
Take a jump from you pretty
linguistic tower
The goal of speech, so obnoxious to
reach
Only one thing to do, melt your iron
flower...
Mmm, I will try hard to be a spark
of power
I will, I'll never be your iron
flower
Mmm...
I was a kid, you were my dad
I didn't always understand
I wanted freedom, you got mad
You were concerned, I got upset
I didn't recognize you yet
And did you cry, I know I did
When I lied to you
I didn't want to hurt you
I just never knew I did
You never told me that you loved me
I know you didn't know how
I guess that shows we're much the
same
'Cause I love you too and until now
I've never said those words out loud
I hope you're proud
To be my dad...
What are your secrets, do you pray
Is there a god that shows your way
I wish I knew...
Do you have crazy fantasies
What happens in your dreams
I want to know...
I guess you'll always be a mystery
to me
But you taught me how to value life
And what else do I need
I have a dad who watches over me
