Dry Dreams - The Jim Carroll Band

Each night, they surround me With the lights and the microphones.

..

With their bodies and the mile of cable

Like a magic ring of bone

Every night I have the same dream:

A man behind the door

With a tattooed erection

And no reflection

And his eyes like a chinese whore.

..

Every night I have the same dream

(repeat 3 times)

The madonnas at the crossroads,

Dressed like future spies

They shine their lips with android sperm

And the riviera skies.

..

But every night I have the same dream

Its a vision of the dead.

.. the way

They stare into space

And never see a human face.

But just the back of their own heads

Every night I have the same dream

(repeat 3 times)

Earth, water, wind and flame

The designers of my fate.

..

Every night they come to me Release me with their weight.

..

Every night I have the same dream

A dome upon the shore

Where some method actors

Bomb the big reactor

And it melts right through the core

Every night I have the same dream

(repeat 3 times)

Each night, they surround me With the lights and the microphones.

..

With their bodies and the miles of cable

Like a magic ring of bone

Every night I have the same dream

White crows in an empty sky

When I call they descend, the young trees bend

And the dream is always dry.

..

Every night I have the same dream

(repeat 3 times)
