Reality

You did what you saw in the movies
Someone put you under a spell
In some world, it is always happening
The next morning everything went to hell
And I play back the tapes as often as I can
But we weren't meant to have memories this long
The pictures degrade into snowflakes, dancing
Any answer I hoped for is gone

And that must be what drove them all crazy
They were the first ones allowed to grow old
The spark goes but the body keeps living
You kiss your children but they just feel the cold
And it just slipped away on one morning
And when they woke up they found it was gone
They still sang songs and made merry
But deep down, they knew that something was wrong

So they called me up, and said, "It's not enough
We needed new things to feel
Dead memories and the color of grief
Won't you help us to make it real?"
Well if you can take it when the mountains break
And the sea swallows up the sky
You can ride on me, I'll take you beyond belief
I will show you the reason why

In the best scene of the movie
I am driving a car that won't stop
Distracted for sure fighting some psychic war
We all were too wasted to stop
You said you'd take me away on a starship
But baby, why'd you have to wait so long?
In the transept, in the apse
In a selfish moment's lapse
I fell asleep waiting for that far-off song

So they gave it up, said "It's all too much
I can't take it if this is how it feels."
Got to pay the piper, hire another writer
To tell you what is real
But if you can take it when the mountains break
And the sky spells satanic designs
You can call me up, I will call your bluff
And you can finally lose your mind

I was warned of all this
Didn't listen
Didn't listen
Please wake up I need to talk to you right now

I got bored of all this
And didn't listen
Didn't listen
Muttering BLID to make it through the next twelve minutes

I caught a glimpse of myself
And fell right in
I fell right in
Didn't know that there was only one way out

No stage right
No stage left

Oh, hold on to this thread
And don't look back
Hold on to this thread
And don't look back
Hold on to this thread
And don't look back
Hold on to this thread

The earth fell out from under me
The earth fell out from under me
The earth fell out from under me
The earth fell out from under me
The earth fell out from under me
The earth fell out from under me
The earth fell out from under me
The earth fell out from under me
The earth fell out from under me
The earth fell out from under me
The earth fell out from under me
The earth fell out from under me
The earth fell out from under me
The earth fell out from under me
The earth fell out from under me
The earth fell out from under me
The earth fell out from under me
