A brain you try washing, a dog full of barking

Youve listened to sages, to crooks in their cages

Dead poets pages, lines that you hated

And still you want to mean what youve said

You brush up on the knowledge that you learned back in college
F#m C#m F#m C#m
Fires burn witches and bums sleep in ditches
Bm E x2
And dreaming's what you do when youre dead
[Verso 6]
A C#m F#m C#m
Youve got a head full of clutter and a mind from the gutter
F#m C#m F#m C#m
The holy expressing, her body undressing

And slowly she returns you to bed

You wake to the sound of your name
Bm A E x4
She whispers youre dreaming again
