Everybody gather round   And listen to my dream, you're bound   To thank me when I'm done   So here is one   I was there, and you were too   But it wasn't exactly you   And wasn't even really me,   Don't you see?      I don't expect   For you to understand completely   Even I don't ask why   Cause it can't be summed up neatly      Word of mouth began to fly   So when people promised to pay to publish, I   Reluctantly agreed   Cause people need      A voice for those without one I've   Tried to keep the dream alive   Now I'm leaving it up to you   To misconstrue      Oh, have you seen   In the May or may not issue   Of some Vague magazine   Interpretations like that make you wish you   Kept shut your mouth   And your heart cause your subconscious   Should be yours   And no one else's   I shall die a thousand deaths      Oh - The dream is over   Oh - I can't believe it   Oh - That the world went on without me   Now I'm that much more behind   But I'll be alright cause      Wide awake or sound asleep   Either way, we're all counting sheep   No, I don't dream for a living,   I'm just living the dream   I'm living the dream   I'm living the dream
