Your girlfriend’s an atheist but she still believes in me
Your cousin’s episcopalian he’s got a draw full of weed
even the ones we think we know are not what they seem
move carefully, we’re figments in someone else’s dream
Your uncle’s a teacher he wears women’s clothes
I’m talking to your mother with a nose full of blow
even the ones we think we know are not what they seem
be careful not to look to close, you’ll wake up from the dream
My boss in middle management puts vodka in her tea
She says she’s recovering but you could have fooled me
The bottle of red I drank last night now seems pretty tame
even if by the end of it I didn’t remember your name
They told me when I left I was going to live the dream
But now I start to wonder if the words are what they seem
And if the people speaking them really meant what they mean
I think that the dream they see is not what it seems
I think that the dream they see has nothing to do with me
I think that the ones I know should know I’m not what I seem
dude, hope this isn’t autobiographical 🙁 if it is, we did mean it, it’s just you don’t usually get to fully appreciate the dream while living inside it, it’s only later when you wake up that you get to really savour it (in retrospect)!
