There is an essence in the water    There is a spirit in the sky    There is a spider drawing webs    To crucify a fly       The fly is drawing nearer    Just as if he knew    How we all must fit the pattern    How the pattern must fit you       Everybody say amen    These are the dreams of ordinary men    This is the world that we’ll be living in    Out of the dreams of ordinary men       I mistook all your intentions    But you never did deceive    I have a helpless fascination    For the web you wove for me       We had nightly public beatings    But we slept in private hells    And I feel no guilt or vengeance    We just couldn’t help ourselves       So what’s the answer I have to find    To change my world like I change my mind    And change my life    If I could only change my dreams
