Blues
I
I had a dream in the middle of the day
And now my waking dream
won't go away
I watched the city swallow everywhere,
only shanty towns of despair
And these things I saw,
road culture at the end of the line
City dwelling at the end
of the line
Motherfuckin' at the end of the line
These things I saw,
and these things I'll find
I had to dream in the middle of the day
My waking dream was away
The motorway services
were the new cit ies
The poisonous air had
wrecked our home
Gasoline rivers burning up the seas
And I saw my people turnin'
on their knees
I had a dream in the middle of the day
And now my waking dream won't go away
So I left the city just to breathe some air
Just to keep my old brain
from busting
Yeah, I left the city just
to breathe some air
But out here in the fields
You know there's still just fields
Still fences and sirens screaming
Keep off my land
No trespass
By order
By drunken disorder
More likely, old prick
Your drunken development's
making me sick
Your drunken development's
making me yawn
I shit on your reason,
your rose is my thorn
I had a dream in the middle of the day
And now my waking dream won't go away
I walk, walk, walk right over that land
Yes, I walk and yes, I keep on walkin'
I grab a rock from the ground
Yeah, this is no game
I let my rock do the talking
Still a man drives up in a four -by -four
Up to me all alone on this lonely moor
And my rock says hello
to his keeping jaw
And my rock said bye -bye
to his bleeding head
Well, I nev er saw a dead man,
but he looked dead
I had a dream in the middle of the day
And now my waking dream won't go
away
And they wonder why a man
behave like this
Behave like he wanna feel
the land he's with
But I heard mama cryin' in
my keepa's dreams
Mama told me to do it,
but this is not what it seems
There are more gods to come
and there are more like me
I mess up, mess up with
nothing to lose
It's a barbed wire fence,
which side you choose?
And I can't shake the feeling
this has happened before
My nightmare returning
It all together we're burning
And I can't shake the feeling this
has happened before
My love may return it
And all together we're burning
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh
you
