Oh, please wake me when this is over. Oh, when the ice has melted away
And the hunger returns;
I will be the same but older,
And maybe twice the bear that I thought I was.
Where have you been, and what have you done?
I've been under the ground
Eating prayers from this old book I found, under the ground.
Saving it up, and spending it all on moving pictures, silent films.Moving pictures, silent films
Or is the dream I've been saving?Oh, where the heart beats slower and slower.
To almost nothing, almost nothing, almost nothing.
I took it for love, or at least something beautiful;
Out there in the spotlight.
But I turned around suddenly, turned around squinting and saw that it was headlights
And then the truth, the truth was unbearable.Oh, and imminent.
Bearing down on these two shadow animals.
Caught painting a dotted line.Caught painting a dotted line.Caught painting a dotted line.
