I had a dream of patti smith upon the shore
and woke up drunk at night outside the tavern door
i heard the church bells chiming from the tavern green

though i was young i knew the one thing it could mean

that it was only a dream

i shivered from the cold wind of those city streets
and tore my jacket on some subway rodent's teeth
i doused my body in the blood of rock'n'roll
saw from the stage salvation in her shining soul

it was only a dream
it was only a dream

i had a dream of patti smith upon the shore
and woke up drunk at night outside the tavern door
i doused my body in the blood of rock'n'roll
saw from the stage salvation in her shining soul…
and gnossos* lost his cool, so soon to quit the scene
took a wrong turn riding down to see james dean
i saw a vision of st. francis** speak to me
shot off his blue eyes live on national tv

but it was only a dream
it was only a dream
it was only a dream

dream #5

scene: a field in northern iran
