Lyrics:

You’ve got your dreams
And I’ve got mine
The yard is flooded
And there’s pigs in the sky
They’re painted red
And they have golden thighs
A Buddha ponders
With a thousand eyes 

Dream is the playground
Of unconscious mind
Dream is the river
That flows through all time
Dreams are the afterthoughts
Of hidden lives
Dreams live inside us
And they keep us alive

We talk about the dreams
That we had last night
With cups of coffee
In the morning light
Who knows
What this day will bring
Just like in dreams
It could be anything

Dream is the playground
Of unconscious mind
Dream is the river
That flows through all time
Dreams are the afterthoughts
Of hidden lives
Dreams live inside us
And we keep them alive

You’ve got your dreams
And I’ve got mine

Heart Goes Black

From the album The Ubiquitous They by Andrew Lawrence Jackson. 

Lyrics:

It’s too late to make a motion
I’m too hungry for emotion
I could swallow up an ocean
For an ounce of love potion

I’m as desperate as a beggar man
As smarmy as an anchorman
My brain’s a ball of rubber bands
That’s bouncing off the wall again

Yes I’ve waited too long
And the urge is so strong
That I can no longer prolong
I don’t care if it is wrong

Yes tomorrow is a dream
And yesterday’s a trance
So I’m letting off steam
As the devil does a dance

‘cause the angel’s in a cage
As we turn another page
But we can’t suppress a grin
‘cause we all know where we’ve been

And it’s too late to turn back
As my heart, it goes to black

It’s too late to turn back
When my heart goes black
