#1368 - "ABOUT YOU"
I dreamt of being with you last nightI couldn't help it
The dream was more
Than I wanted to see
But I couldn't help it
Because I had been thinking
About you
All the previous day
I told you
I couldn't help it
Because the heat
In my apartment
Was stifling
And there you were
In my head
All polished and pretty
And there I was
In my bed
All fat and covered with tattoos
And just ripe for a nice dream
For once
I am truly sorry
I couldn't help it
I promise you
It won't happen again
Because the river
Was black and churning violently
And I thought that it would take
All of my bad dreams and
Good ones too
Away
Far away
Far far away
I dreamt of pulling off
A daring bank heist
I dreamt of not pissing
On the edge of the bowl
I dreamt of executing the death penalty
On a child molester
I dreamt of not being late
For work
I dreamt of being a positive
Role model and/or icon for youth
I dreamt of not leaving stains
In my underwear
And I dreamt of being with you
So
If I took a picture
Of a dream I just had
Would you tell me what you saw
Or not even look
Just telling me
I am just a fad
Or would you look
Then slap me in the face
And tell me to get over it
And to grow up
And do it
Right now
Because right now
I feel as guilty as
A catholic murderer
With a conscience
In confession
You can't describe
The way I feel
When I can barely
Do it myself
And all of these dreams
Haunt me all through the day
Because they almost
Never come true
