I had a dream
It wasn’t safe where I had to go
There was a bird
In violent wind and rain and snow
And a band played in the sky
To the pterodactyl mothers
Who keep their babies dry
And a man told me
For a price I could live forever
Then he opened up his breifcase
Hey St. Paul
Tell me now where should we go?
There’s many walls
Of precious glass and black windows
Oh no
I know exactly where this tunnel goes
And I know this precious world in overthrow
And where we’re from you just can’t go
No no no
