Open, Close

So we were down in Brasil and

And that place is wild, we were in Rio de Janeiro

And we had this sort of a security guard, tough guy

And he was supposed to take us around

I said: hey could, you know, could you take us to the

The favelas and show us the prostitution and the drug deals and the night fights and

You know, the street life of your town

He said: sure so we, we pull up to this hooker and

She’s wearing some kind of a... A-a bright green mini skirt

And it turns out it’s a transexual

He says: get over here and she comes over and she thinks she’s busted.

But she’s not busted, no she’s not busted

He just wanted to smack her in the ass a few times

I and say, hey what’s up girl

I get out of bed

And I clear up my head

I don’t want to go

But I do it instead

We are dreams

Within a dream

I get into bed

And I turn off my head

I started to float

Was it something she said

We are dreams

Within a dream

So I remember we got our driver’s license

And my friend hillel had this little datsun painted green and in

Hollywood we get so crazy in the winter

The rains would come and the hills would just kind of melt down into the city lights and

Well you know we’d smoke weed and we’d go up in the hills

And we’d listen to progressive rock music

And just kind of trip out and

Well we were dreaming, you know, we were dreaming

And we were talking about what we wanted to do

And we were talking about girls and music and

You know, hillel wanted to be a rock star

I didn’t even know what that was and I was like:

Whatever you want to do man, I’m coming with you, I’m right with you my friend

I get out of bed

And I clear up my head

I don’t want to go

But I do it instead

We are dreams

Within a dream

I get into bed

And I turn off my head

I started to float

Was it something she said

We are dreams

Within a dream

Why in the world would you want it to be

Why would you wanna take it so, so literally

All this things that come down from the sky

Raining upon your head

Make me stop and wonder why

Can I just spell it out, make it clear

Make it easy to read

For the simple man like me?

I don’t think so

I reached out to my family and I said:

It’s not about religion and the God

Sitting in the chair in the sky

With a punishing hand, no

It’s about heaven in your heart

Now, when can we start?

I wanna choose love instead of fear

Won’t you come right now over here

And we come now

Let me make it easy this time

I love you
