Adventures Of The Deaf Dreamer

Once I had a dream that I was standing in Osaka

There was a geisha and a refugee

And deep down in her pocket was a tarnished silver locket

And a picture frame that had always been empty

She takes that refugee to town and keeps her eyes down on the ground

As if she's waiting for the earth to open up

And pull the geisha and that man into the cauldrons of Japan

Beneath the streets that only serve to keep the gravity at bay

She talks, I sleepwalk

And I did not hear a thing

Once I had this dream there were two starcrossed teenage lovers

Trying to keep their secret safe from everyone

Because if their parents ever learned this, they would slash and they would burn this

And everything they know would be undone

So they hid beneath the bleachers, out of view from all the teacher

As the marching band played Hail to the Team

It was the last game of the season, they were shaking, they were freezing

There was nothing but their bodies in between

She talks, I sleepwalk

And I did not hear a thing

Once I had this dream that I could see inside your mind

And all the mysteries unraveled like a thread

Once I had this dream that I could see inside my own mind

Past denial and the walls inside my head

And it all was making sense as I let go of my defenses

And I saw the world for what it really was

And I opened up my eyes to see the end of the disguise

But I went blind before I even saw a thing

She talks, I sleepwalk

And I did not hear a thing

She talks, I sleepwalk

And I did not hear a thing
