108. Once Twice Thrice

Lennon's so loud on my LSD screen
If it explodes in my mind
Then I may just scream
But all the thoughts around me
Are really kinda nice
If I don't think any longer I'll be
Reacting like a polaroid head lice (Live the dream, man!)

Coz all that we do
Means nothing to you
I shout but there's no sound
The dreams that we made
Are all so pre-paid
That we dream them alone and twice...

I rang Jagger on the answer phone
He answered in my mind
He was nowhere near home
And the mood swells inside me
I really wanna know
Are the questions I had to ask
All dead and alone?
If so, at what price...

Though all through this dream
I have so seldom seen
The reality of truth
Laid out on silver screen
I lay there in wait
Channelling ghosts in my mind...
And it draws a blank
And wades into a goldfish tank
It suffocates my thoughts
At night
(with the mixture of amphetemine)

Marley in and out
Through the thought and the sound
Whispers in my ear
He says that the Dames
Are all so way-laid
That we ought to
Fold and Bow

And Hendrix relayed
We all should obey
The screaming wall of sound
But all he knew
Was choke on all that he could do
And play with Cobain in the clouds.

Coz all that we do
Means nothing to you
I shout but there's no sound
The dreams that we made
Are all so pre-paid
That we dream them alone and twice...

Though all through this dream
I have so seldom seen
The reality of truth
Laid out on silver screen
I lay there in wait
Channelling ghosts in my mind...
My mind draws a blank
And wades in a tank
It suffocates my thoughts
At night.

I'd like to live this life alone
Just once
Why don't you stay at home
Oh twice
See me living in ecstacy
Oh thrice
You've never met the real me.
