Dreams & Dreamers

"In the evening when I wake up

And my golden rainbow dawns

In the proceeding moments just revolve, I lose myself"

Is this a dream or reality, how do we tell the difference...

Every day seemed like Christmas, now it's Halloween

Galleries with blank canvas, gallivant ran

Through the valley for a Salary that grants me

Successful in this majestic culture

Survive if you're high like the nest of a vulture

Pauly Poltergeist, a voltage of lighting

Not scared to strike twice like assaultings from bikies

I'm hiking with a viking mind state

Hunt to feed his family, the life of a primate

I'm just a tired ape, lie awake late

No sleep when ya life's fate decided on a break

Is this a nightmare? Pinch my hand and breathe

Feel like I'm getting lynched by my girl's family

I gotta dream and it might seem thin

But I couldn't breathe without it, it's my Siamese twin

I sleep no more, dream with eyes open

No more pills and no more potion

No more being woken up

By the explosion when the commotion errupts

I sleep no more, dream with eyes open

No more pills and no more potion

No more being woken up

By the man dumping his shit, unloading his truck

I sleep no more

Absence of occupation isn't rest

[?] a mind vacant is another mind of distress

[?] no rest for the wicked, yeah we could just kick it

Or we could fucken stick it to the man

Is this life, I'm watching bum's rifle threw rubbish

Malnourished, another vicious growl from their stomachs

How rubbish, another vicious row with the government

Rummage through our cans and the council ain't loving it

Nothing under this sun done change

Monday to Sunday, life's mundane

In one day Mundine took down Green

In one day a stingray took our Steve

Proven even our hero's are human

Proven some come dumber than Sam Newman

Ya loose, ya win, loose again

Is this life the booze or hallucinogen

So I move with the wind like willow

But sin like bellow, my head hits the pillow

And I'm gone, out for the count like Drak

Bounce and I'm out like that, do ya feel me

Yeah is this a dream

Jump from a bridge, will I hit the street or wake up

It just seems

That I'm wasting my time praying for something greater

Yeah is this a dream

Will I be the man that I wanted to be as a kid

It's not how it seems

Don't wanna be remembered as another man that lived

Rest is excellent but bordom is his brother

Death his cousin, age is his mother

Cover your eyes, go to sleep sweet heart

But when you wake you might find the grim reaper

Standing at the end of your bed demanding to be fed

Your soul sucked from that hole in ya head

Not even Ned Kelly's armour could save ya

The arm of the saviour lay ya to rest, so save ya breath

To say your prayers even Satan says

Realities a very sad state of affairs

So beware of the screaming hyenas

And only sleep seperates the dreams from the dreamers

"In the evening when I wake up"

I dream with eyes, I dream with eyes open

I sleep no more

"In the evening when I wake up"

I dream with eyes, I dream with eyes open
