I venture into a dreamland where I am living on the edge Where I am living I am living I am living right on the edge & where I am the chameleon & so I am the moonfaced flower child I am the moonfaced flower child I am
So take me to the courtyard made of water & make your point by pointing out the letters in the stars Sister, show me Cassiopeia
I venture into a dreamland where I am playing a glass guitar & there’s a raver by the pear tree at the far end of the courtyard By the well I sing the old songs to the dogs & I’m afraid that they can see right through me
I’ll prove how much I love you with this handstand I can breathe under the water, I can hear your muffled laughter I can feel you coming through the walls
& when we ran We ran through the rain You took me up the stairwell & back down again I was lying around with chameleons—I was hanging around with bitches I heard that there’s a war on & I’m sure that they’re not with us No no no no no...
I was hanging out in the tower The tower overlooked the sea I saw him check the girl for fever By pushing all his fingers through her skin He’s just reading her mind… I venture into a dreamland where I can say this & you’ll believe
I’ve been here before… I know your face from the last time I dreamt I was losing control I was lying around with chameleons—I was hanging around with bitches I heard that there’s a war on & I’m sure that they’re not with us No no no no no...
All through the sky all Over the ground I was looking for you When the rain came down
It’s on the rise
I was flying in a spiral down I was trying to find a good way to hit the ground
All through the sky all Over the ground I was looking for you
You were dipping in the water Like a beauty Did you think about your man out in the whirlpool sea?
Above the dirty harbor water Half a mile from the shore A cannon fell out of the sky Now it sits upon the dirty ocean floor
The girls, all ready in their swimsuits They are sitting on the pier I will swim to them like a fish I have ridden on these waves I will be there in no time at all...
I have ridden on these waves I have crashed into the shore I have rolled along the dirty ocean floor
In the dirty harbor water Half a mile from the shore I hear the feedback from the drum I hear a voice say that it hates my heart
I was hanging out in the tower The tower overlooked the sea I saw him blowing on a horn to serenade his woman He was pushing out the air with his machine He’s just reading her mind... I saw him push his fingers through her skin
I venture into a dreamland where the waves have come alive & I watch them chase the people down the beach But they are bound to the water Like creatures on a leash
I have ridden on these waves I have crashed into the shore I have rolled along the floor I will be there in no time at all...
& I have ridden on these waves I have crashed into the shore I have rolled along the dirty ocean floor
& I have been here before... I know your face from the last time I dreamt I was losing control I’ve been lying around with chameleons—I’ve been hanging around with bitches I heard that there’s a war on & I’m sure that they’re not with us No no no no no...
I venture into a dreamland where I have raced upon the water Once against a girl & once against my father The waves will angle into hills of icy mountains & we will run our boats upon the glass
I venture into a dreamland of hidden orchards and dark black trees The branches are shown to me for my inspection I will chop them down, to pay off the hit-man But we have to wait, man, till all the black animals are gone
There are two houses on the mountain I put my hand into the fir
