jim carroll - dry dreams lyrics
jim carroll band
dry dreams
dry dreams
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 wh-r- . . .
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
it’s a vision of the dead . . . the way
they stare into sp-ce
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 sh-r-
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)
