Sweet Dreams

"Lie, lie, lies everywhere,"

said the Father to the son

you're peppermint breath gonna choke him to death

Daddy watch your little black sheep run

He got knives in his back

everytime he opens up

You say, "He gotta be strong if you want to be a man"

Mister I don't know how you can have

Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams



Land, land of Liberty we're run

by a constipated man

when you live in the past

you refuse to see

when your daughter comes home 9 months pregnant

with Five Billion Points of Light

gonna shine 'em on the face of your friends--

They got the earth in a sling

They got the world on her knees

They've even got your zipper

between their teeth

Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams



you say, you say, you say you have 'em

I say that you're a liar

Go on, go on, go on and dream

your house is on fire



Well, well, well summer wind

been catchin' up with me

"Elephant mind, missy

you don't have you're forgettin'

to fly darlin' when you sleep"

I got hazy lazy Susan

takin' turns all over my dreams

I got lizards and snakes

runnin' through my body

Funny how they all have my face

Sweet Dreams
