It happened then that someone did this and that, and
who can remember what was really going on?
If she hadn�t closed her eyes for those two weeks
Things would be as they were.
She can�t decide the better cost of living: then or now
Or maybe tomorrow, when Hope
Will invite her into the house of Fantasy
I want you to take those thoughts and put them right out of your mind
Perhaps next time
You dream to Rachmaninov�s languid chords
Or John Hartford�s tingling banjo
Put them right out of your mind
For business and private matters
There is nothing wrong with you
Everyone has their dreams,
Those that shouldn�t come true,
But yours almost did.
It defies all reason
That your Abstract became Concrete.
Reality whispers:
I�m a major let-down like this
And when you sink beneath the folds
I�m lost
If it was all just a wonderful, iridescent dream,
Then I close my eyes to dream again.
Have a good night (and sweet dreams) as well
Right out of your mind
Recently,
?
I�ve taken up residence in your disposal
It�s the best place to watch you
when you think no one�s around.
I�ll notice you washing the dishes and then
drown in the rejected food poured down the drain.
