The Confessions of Doctor Dream

[Part I. Irreversible Neural Damage]

[Instrumental Intro 0:00 - 2:07]

[Verse 1]
If you wear this silver bonnet
I will sew my heart upon it
For this bonnet makes you seem
Like someone I met in a dream, a dream

[Verse 2]
I won't wear your silver bonnet
Not unless some gold's put on it
You can take your dreams back home
I have plenty of my own, my own

[Verse 3]
Tell me something distant sister
If I found my dream and kissed her
Would this vision of perfection
Turn into my own reflection

[Verse 4]
Who or what I am escapes me
Every changing minute shapes me
What I get is what I yеarn for
Dreams are what I gladly burn for

[Verse 5]
In her cradlе we have rocked her
Tended by the dreaming doctor
Now she waits in sleeping beauty
For some prince to do his duty

[Part II. Invitation]

[Instrumental]

[Part III. The One Chance Dance]

[Verse 6]
Take your partners for the dance
Quick before you miss the chance
Make your loving while you can
Or she'll find another man who will

[Chorus]
Losing someone makes you sad
Makes you feel that life is bad
So sad, drives you mad

[Verse 7]
Once upon a time there was
So there is still
Loving of a kind
That rang here
Until doors began to close
And love was left screaming
When life was diagnosed
By the doctors of dreaming

[Bridge]
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la

[Bridge]
And now, ladies and gentlemen!
There's just time to grab the nearest
Human being for the one chance dance!

[Instrumental]

[Part IV. Doctor Dream Theme]

[Verse 8]
I take life, my knife cuts deep, brings sleep
Watch out for Doctor Dream

[Verse 9]
I'll fill your skies with promise that you'll fly
And then I'll wake you up again
But soon I will return to feed on you
Watch out for Doctor Dream
Sweet child, watch out for Doctor Dream
Watch out for Doctor Dream
Watch out for Doctor Dream
Watch out for Doctor Dream
