lyrics
Chapter VII:
Dream Within a Dream
The crooked walls
Of this cafe
Peel away
Like veins on an ol' oak tree
It's branches
Claw at my restless spirit
A spotted mirror
Reveals the face that I fear
Been workin' this juke joint
For many a year
Time and again
It never fails
To produce a tear
And you'll find yourself
Weeping at the moon
That some miracle
Will happen upon this tomb
Then you'll find yourself
In an empty room
Where there's no way out
No way out
Even in your dreams
No way out
No way out
Like a steady conscious stream
Past dreams
Haunt my bed at night
And breathe
On the scars
Of my heart
I pray heavenly Father
Why have you forgotten this place?
Where the soulless
Stand above mass graves
Walls get dustier
And grimier every day
When there's no way out
No way out
Even in your dreams
No way out
No way out
Like a steady conscious stream
You may sing praises
To the restless sun
Say prayers to the desert wind
But always
Arrive back here
A flat circle
Time and again
And you'll find yourself
Weeping to the moon
That the darkness
Caresses you soon
So you can start again
Another life
Where there's no way out
No way out
Even in your dreams
No way out
No way out
Like a steady conscious stream
No way out
No way out
Even in your dreams
No way out
No way out
Like a slow drying stream
