Dreamin'

So I dreamt again last night

Funny how it was so vivid

Because I can't remember at all

How I ended up in my own bed


Maybe it was the berries I ate

Or tomatoes? Where'd those come from?

Or were they cherries?

I ate while wandering


Skipper told me there was a magic tree on campus

My drunken self must have set out to find it

Don't think I did

I walked (stumbled) the wrong way home...


So I dreamt I was sitting by the creek

In my loved backyard at home

Just minding my own self

And some buoys came floating along


They looked like the marks I sail around

And they were followed by two women

Wearing white laboratory coats

They were playing my game, science


So I hopped onto a float

And followed it all the way down

My creek turned into a river

The water muddied and brown


Good ol' NJ


It then narrowed until it disappeared

And I ended up in a marsh

The grass expanded so far

I couldn't see the water past it

It was like a prairie of salt loving greens


But there right in front of me

Were three pristine, brand new looking buildings

One was a home

One had on it's side a movie screen

And the third was a giant inflatable slide

With a moon bounce attached to the side


I was confused

But somehow I knew this was paradise

I stood with the scientists

We looked at each other

They didn't want to go in

But I did


The home was clean and fresh

Inside I found some friends

And a few father figure hippies

All so happy and welcoming

And all the young lads were so good looking..

(Hey, a girl can dream)


What they did with their lives I found out

Was nothing but enjoying living

They cooked delicious food, vegan I may add

They sat and they played music to the clouds

They laughed and they smiled

Didn't drink, but got oh so high

No cares in the world

Only that they should be kind to one another


I felt comfort and included

I didn't know them but I knew I would soon

I asked where the money came from, where did they work

Nobody had a clue

The world was theirs and as long as they respected it

They got everything they wanted


Paradise

I stayed as long as I liked

The scientists left to go back to our sad world

And then I woke up again to my clock radio
