Last night in a dream
I had the greatest moment of my whole life
I had all I ever wanted in a dream
We sat side by side
Or across from one another, I don't know
My aviary's full; the wax has melted in a sacred pool
All I know is that, hand in hand, she said
"We should give the you-me thing a shot"
It was really, really, really, really, really, really real - so I thought
But her hand was probably only my hair in a knot
Hand in hand, we left the bar
And made love in the back of my car
And above us was a starry, starry, starry...
All I know is that, hand in hand, we left the bar
And made love in the back of my car
And above us was a starry, starry star
But the star was probably only a light in my car
Later on in the dream
I was riding with my friend, Samm, 'round a bend
On a street on which he'd never really been
When the ground began to shake
But not yet would I awake
It was probably only my AC clicking on...
"Oh my God," he softly said
"It's a nuke," he said. "We'll soon be dead"
It was vivid and real
I can give the whole spiel
But suffice it to say that, before yesterday
I had never really known what it meant
To know that I was really gonna die
