Saw the world in a dream And woke up feeling cheated In what turned out to be an ordinary room My massive tragedy defeated And all the power of emotion that had gripped me Had drained out into black silence Still I could hear the buses running on schedule Two hours into the new day
At night I lay me Down to sleep Planes crashing Through my dreams Lights flashing In front of my eyes Pray shall I wake Before I die
Saw the end of my life in a dream And woke up in a cold sweat Only dimly aware of what I'd seen But still feeling a vague threat And as the power of fear overwhelmed me I fought to turn on the radio To hear the damning voice of a minister Two hours into the new day
At night I lay me Down to sleep Planes crashing Through my dreams Lights flashing In front of my eyes Pray shall I wake Before I die
