I had this dream
And in this dream
I was walking and soon
I was upon this man
This man was pointing
He was screaming for help
For the reaper had captured his lamb
I said "what's doing here?"
He said "it's pretty clear, but not many people can see
What is plain to see. so this advice i give, for you have much to live"
And just that i notice the lamb looked like me
Hey, return what you wanted
It's not what you need, kid
The rest you can live without
Where's the phone
The telephone it's ringing again, and again, and again
I will be there in one second
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on man
And if there's someone
Ssomeone there
Then please, i'm now in the know
So make it real
I'll bear no more deceit
It burns my soul
Hey, return what you wanted
It's not what you need, kid
The rest you can live without
