I have this box of splendorous dreams Of tender schemes so filthy-pure
...dreams of dreaming ...dreams of living ...dreams of shining ...dreams of screaming ...dreams of giving ...dreams of dying
From it I am taking dreams And forging broken, shattered schemes
These dreams, they see And flee through me And I see me and you see thee, And dreams are me as dreams are we Through me, and thee, they dream And with their bodies see me scream And all 'round me, These dreams do shatter stitch-ed seams.
These dreams of love and dreams of skies and dreams of loving, living lies, These dreams are yours and his and theirs and hers and its and ours and mine
What marv'lous creatures are these dreams who here upon my visage gaze! What wondrous features have they in the light and dark of nights and days!
They touch and play and kiss and dance and love and sing and fly and dream! They break and cut and bite and jump and hate and growl and swim and scream!
The fire slips betwixt their lips, and by their ears, between their thighs The water dances on their hips and 'cross their fears and in their eyes
They glide and gleam across my hand and through my ebbing, whirling mind They drift and fly across the sands, the grains that hold together time
They twist and turn so gracefully upon their silken, goss'mer strings And on their tight-rope act of daze they sing and Glide and Ride and Glow and Show and Die and Fly and Mate and Hate and be...and...and...
See, I've got a lovely box of dreams Sitting here, So filthy-pure...
