THREE STOPS TO THE BIG DREAM I DREAM


Lying in our bed, we look up at the feet of the ceiling,
and we wait for the train; we go three stops more to a dream.
To hell with your organs! Bury me with my machines.
See for yourself; I see only what I wish to see.


My formidable, my formidable foe.
Oh, all your light in my eyes, there is no bigger soul I know.
True, I have known no nervous truth to pierce my tongue,
but I swear by the rain in her hair she could be the one.


Bird, what do you say?
This is the story of our lives.
How we get eachother through the night.


Lying in our bed, she goes over my head sometimes.
Her hair makes a kind of cathedral between our eyes.
My face is the floor under her stained glass skylight.
Rise when I call to you, smoke to the top of the sky.


Bird, what do you say?
This is the story of our lives.
How we get eachother through.
How we get eachother through the night.


Lying in our bed, she is two grades ahead of me in school.
She says she wants to be held back. She wants to; she is no fool.
The first to the front lines of life, they are the first to die;
their faith like the faith of the moth in a smock of fire.


The slow and steady Sun will surely rise,
and we may open up our eyes,
but we can sleep a little longer, it's alright.


The Sun will surely rise,
and it will open up our eyes.
You can sleep a little longer, it's alright.


It hurts when I walk, these shoes they gnaw at my heels.
Like it hurts when I see you, I thought that we had a deal.
Coke rots my teeth, and my eyes are leaves of grass.
Still life is the hardest drug, it just lasts to the last.


Lying in our bed, how we make and we unmake friends.
We are talking a storm like the fate of the world depends.
Shame on your pride, the pictures here hang like scabs.
Shame on your shame, this dream that I dream went bad.


The slow and steady Sun will surely rise,
and we may open up our eyes,
but we can sleep a little longer, it's alright.


Bird, what do you say?
This is the story of our lives.
How we get eachother through.
How we get eachother through the night.
