Each Creature Dreams a Peculiar Dream

from SPELLS by The Light Switches

lyrics

I can’t believe I’m seeing all of you
Like garden full of dahlias
I forgot about and called you/ but you told me I was drunk
I can’t believe you crazy ladies
go grazing down in Hades
abandoning your babies/ for some perilous pirates bunk
I can’t believe how many of the kids
I used to know back home / stayed home and got addicted to that junk

it’s all a peculiar dream/ what is happening to you/ is happening to me

I can’t believe that we’re not sleeping
with our secrets in safe keeping
never whispering nor weeping
saving suffering for art
No one told those little soldiers
if you were only any older
you’d realize/ you broke your mamma’s heart
it ain’t strange that this refrain
keeps on refraining and repeating
revisiting the place from where we start

It's all a peculiar dream/ what's happening to you/ is happening to me

I don’t know the way home/ through the whispering woods/ nor thickets of thieves
moon, you’ve been hiding all day/ come glow show us the way/ we’re losing our way
there’s a lonely old song/ I sing when wait hold on/ we’re on our way

I can’t believe how far we’ve rambled
through the thistles and the brambles/ while we’re gambling on the shambles of a star
I can’t believe the sight I saw tonight
while looking for a light/ from the ghost the likes to hide behind the bar
I can’t believe we judge each other
like we’re one another’s mother
but my sister and my brother/ I've got something I've got to say to you

It's all a peculiar dream/ what's happening to you/ is happening to me (6x)
