lyrics

Pretty kitty with the hard hat on her head
Gave me pennies for pleasantries that I said
I didn't push, I just followed where I was led

Alan didn't have a car, but he had a guitar
For where he wanted to go, that got him pretty far
But it's so hard to be anywhere except where you are

It wasn't a dream, but it may as well have been
It wasn't a dream, but then again
Just like a dream
I'm the only one who remembers it happening

There was something in the atmosphere making us run
She was lying like an angel at the heart of the sun
I was happy to deny that I wanted someone

She was fascinated by the keepsakes on my wall
I said do you want a popsicle
She wanted a popsicle

It wasn't a dream, just a series of events
It wasn't a dream, but who knows what it meant
'Cause just like a dream
It didn't really make logical sense

What you were thinking moving
How could you do this to me
I'm sensitive, I get attached
You know that
You know that

It wasn't a dream, I tell myself over and over
It wasn't a dream, but then I'm not sure
'Cause just like a dream
I gotta cling to the parts I can remember

It wasn't a dream, but it sure seems like one now
It wasn't a dream, but somehow
Just like a dream
There's so much about it I can't figure out

Dirty birdie with the hot hair making her sweat
Gave her lips to me for empty threats that I spread
Left me wondering if I wouldn't be better off dead

For in that sleep
Of death
What dreams might come to me
