One time ago a crazy dream came to me |
| [00:22.38] |
I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three |
| [00:26.29] |
Went to the doctor the very next day |
| [00:28.16] |
To see what kinda words he could say |
| [00:30.11] |
He said, "It was a bad dream |
| [00:34.10] |
I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though |
| [00:35.59] |
They were my own dreams |
| [00:36.66] |
Were only in your head |
| [00:48.75] |
I said, "Hold it Doc, a World War passed through my brain " |
| [00:51.67] |
He said, "Nurse, get your pad, the boy's insane " |
| [00:57.36] |
He grabbed my arm, I said, "Ouch! " |
| [00:59.27] |
As I landed on the psychiatric couch |
| [01:01.78] |
He said, "Tell me about it " |
| [01:12.37] |
Well, the whole thing started at three o'clock fast |
| [01:14.74] |
It was all over by quarter past |
| [01:18.35] |
I was down in the sewer with some little lover |
| [01:20.74] |
When I peeked out from a manhole cover |
| [01:24.25] |
Wondering who turned the lights on us |
| [01:35.85] |
Well, I got up and I walked around |
| [01:38.12] |
Up and down the lonesome town |
| [01:43.83] |
I stood on wondering which way to go |
| [01:45.79] |
I lit a cigarette on a parking meter |
| [01:47.87] |
And walked on down the road, it was a normal day |
| [02:03.01] |
Well, I rung me fallout shelter bell |
| [02:05.25] |
And I leaned my head and I gave a yell |
| [02:08.60] |
"Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man" “ |
| [02:11.15] |
Shotgun fired and away I ran |
| [02:15.09] |
I don't blame them too much though, they didn't know me |
| [02:28.02] |
Down the corner by the hot-dog stand |
| [02:30.21] |
I seen a man, I said, "Howdy friend |
| [02:34.05] |
I guess there's just us two" |
| [02:35.83] |
He screamed a bit and away he flew |
| [02:39.34] |
Thought I was a Communist |
| [03:00.79] |
Well, I spied me a girl before she could leave |
| [03:02.99] |
I said, "Let's go play Adam and Eve" |
| [03:06.88] |
I took her by the hand and my heart was thumpin' |
| [03:08.83] |
When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or something |
| [03:14.37] |
You seen what happened last time they started" |
| [03:33.96] |
Well, I seen me a Cadillac window uptown |
| [03:36.71] |
There was nobody around |
| [03:39.43] |
I got into the driver's seat |
| [03:41.27] |
And I drove down 42nd street in my Cadillac |
| [03:47.12] |
Good car to drive after a war |
| [04:04.35] |
Well, I remember seein' some ad |
| [04:06.44] |
So I turned on my Conelrad but I didn't pay the Con Ed bill |
| [04:11.01] |
So the radio didn't work so well, turned on my record player |
| [04:18.16] |
It was Rock-A-Day, Johnny singin', "Tell your ma, tell your pa |
| [04:23.16] |
Our loves are gonna grow ooh wah, ooh wah" |
| [04:39.97] |
I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue I needed somebody to talk to |
| [04:45.23] |
So I called up the operator of time just to hear a voice of some kind |
| [04:52.71] |
"When you hear the beep it will be three o'clock" “ |
| [04:56.83] |
She said that for over an hour and I hung up |
| [05:11.83] |
Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then |
| [05:14.23] |
Sayin', "Hey I've been havin' the same old dreams |
| [05:18.59] |
But mine was a little different you see |
| [05:21.18] |
I dreamt the only person left after the war was me |
| [05:25.21] |
I didn't see you around " |
| [05:35.19] |
Well, now time passed and now it seems |
| [05:38.07] |
Everybody's having them dreams |
| [05:41.79] |
Everybody sees their self walkin' around with no one else |
| [05:49.36] |
Half the people can be part right all of the time and |
| [05:54.54] |
Some of the people can be all right part of the time but |
| [05:58.38] |
All the people can't be all alright all of the time |
| [06:02.67] |
I think Abraham Lincoln said that |
| [06:07.15] |
"I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours", I said that “ |
