I'm so tired of contemplation
I spend days completely inert
with an empty feeling
and the coffee doesn't work

Church bells toll through a digital speaker
every time a battery dies
I hear them ringing through the window
and my hips begin to rise

Why don't we dance
for the first time
in a lavendar and burgundy room
and dream
if only for a night or two?

Let's skip town for the doomed republic
escape the home security system
Let's pick a fight
on a warm summer night

We can trace a shape through the prairie states
that looks just like the lines at Nazca
Listen carefully
to what I'm about to ask ya

We have our lives
for a short time
and the happy moments are so few
Why don't you dream with me
if only for a night or two?

Is it raining, or am I dreaming?
Is it raining, or am I dreaming?
Is it raining, or am I dreaming?

Let's get a house in the middle of nowhere
and furnish it with bottles of wine
that we drink at the clip of
the cruel passage of time

Off of the highway in Central New Jersey
a wise guy grew into a wise man
but his works and books of wisdom
never had a single fan

Why don't we dance
for the first time
in a neon yellow biker bar
and dream
to the sound of an electric guitar?

Why don't we dance
for a short time
in this crowded metropolitan tomb
and dream
if only for a night or two?

Is it raining, or am I dreaming?
Is it raining, or am I dreaming?
Is it raining, or am I dreaming?

My neck is sore
from my head
hanging so low
Is it raining
or am I dreaming
or both?
