lyrics

DREAMING UNAWARE

dreaming, dreaming, dreaming unaware
now that the cat is on his back
we're losing track of all our cares
dreaming, dreaming, dreaming unaware

in the garden i see ghosts
havin' a party, they're making a toast
to the ones who came before that sudden rain
washed away the memories and stopped a million trains
over there - we're over there

dreaming, dreaming, dreaming unaware
now that the sky has hit the ground
we've no excuse not to stick around
dreaming, dreaming, dreaming unaware

like an opera in reverse
we unfold the mystery now, we're lifting the curse
that we carried all our lives to ease the pain
that strands us in the market in the steaming iron rain
that's everywhere - we are everywhere

dreaming, dreaming, dreaming unaware
now that you've seen it all explode
it's time to hit the desert roads
dreaming, dreaming, dreaming unaware

hi, my dear, my head's too clear
i'd rather take a number than disappear
oh hello, my dear, my mind's too clear
so i better fuck it up and get the hell out of here

bartered time still flies, my friend
from the instant that you took it til the bitter brittle end
we carry all our thoughts along the way
and leave a trail of memories of every single day
like i'm still there

dreaming, dreaming, dreaming unaware
now that we're living in reverse
we'll never know which one is worse
now that we're dreaming, dreaming, dreaming unaware
