Pipe Dream
Up goes the smoke
As I light up this
Piece of a dream
N0----
As I smoke up this dream
To later awaken to the reality
It's all a BIG mistake!
And while I have this glass pipe in my mouth,
I finally
I slowly
Kill myself as I die
Spending every damn dime
On a little white rock
Call cocaine
My lady
My *****
My god!
So there
I said what was on my mind
And said loud enough
For the world damn world
Can hear me good
And I just can't stop
I can't stop!
If dreams was a race horse
I would bet you every time
And every time I
Would loose every bet placed.
I'll even loose my mind
If it takes me there
Then I would had a hell of a trip
So that I can come back
To tell you my story.
Hit me again
Light it once more!
I wanna take a hit
On my glass pipe
Sucking it like never before
Cause I don't give a damn
I just wanna feel good
And ease that pain inside of me.
The white lady got me hooked
High as a kite
And on top of the world
Until-------
I crash right into reality
Again and I fall
Face down
With the devil laughing
In my head
As I hit the glass pipe once more.
Your dreams are up in smoke
The end of
Your life
As you smoke up hope
Smoked up your life
Into the air higher and higher
Until you just won't come
Down right away and then
Suddenly
CRASH!
Crashing downward
Spinning in the air at first
Then crashing down
Hard
Into pieces broken up.
Then you realize
You are somebody great
And greatness is in you.
Walk inside that door
where dreams unfold
And dream
And dream
And dream
And then dream some more........
