I've got this dream Where I'm prepping for a presentation And I'm ready I am so prepared I wrote out note cards but I don't need them I've printed out my visual aides days in advance But when I go to pin them to the wall They shrink I pull the corners out like kneading dough But they recoil Over and over I try to explain myself to the faceless critic But they've already marked a large "X" on their secretive clip board My poster shrinks to nothing and I wish I could I wake in a cold sweat

Bad dream
I've got this dream Where I'm prepping for a presentation And I'm ready I am so prepared I wrote out note cards but I don't need them I've printed out my visual aides days in advance But when I go to pin them to the wall They shrink I pull the corners out like kneading dough But they recoil Over and over I try to explain myself to the faceless critic But they've already marked a large "X" on their secretive clip board My poster shrinks to nothing and I wish I could I wake in a cold sweat
