Morning new disease, charcoal in bed
bone-soaked, anemic, listen in horror
To the scraping of flatware and china
and saran wrap to stifle libido

Air shaft a chasm their lives flung open
sickness is the time for hating your neighbors
In their milk flats with five kids too many
having day s__ because they're all daughters

And you're thinking the same two things
over and over again

I am dreaming of a life, I am dreaming of waking up
there's this anger rising cancer in me standing like a wall
Between the waking world I seek and this infected plane of sleep
Love come like an axe to all this ice and set me free
There's a black rewarding book
beneath this stiff sheet if you look, carefully

Noise police white hearse tv air wave methadone
Diet contact safe s__ antibiotics
For your safety we've taken sharp objects
It's their object to keep you from waking

Taste test serenade we dig the grave
Lose weight astrologically no money down
For your enjoyment we've excised the dialogue
For your protection we've installed this camera
Just keep thinking the same clean thoughts
and keep telling yourself it's allright

I am dreaming of a life
and it's not the life that's mine
In a stolen car I rocket west
out past that Jersey line
And the robots in their riot gear
glimmer in my rearview mirror
Love came like an axe
and had her way with this coarse earth
And a rich deserving book
she was recovered and understood
and I awoke
