We don't do dreams in the real world and
there no place for those that do
if you can't face reality they'll banish you
vanish you
put you on a program of
****** and Librium

Some will try to fake it out
it takes it out of them

there are X-ray machines that
X-ray out the dreams and
leave a little buzz behind

most find it doesn't do it
and would sooner take the ******
to help them all get through it

I'd sooner dream ultra-marine,
the colours are so deep,
keep your pills
I'll dream dark hills
and think that this is home.
