I had a dream   I had a dream   I had a dream, Joe         I had a dream, Joe   You were standing in the middle of an open road   I had a dream, Joe   Your hands were raised up to the sky   And your mouth was covered in foam   I had a dream, Joe   A shadowy Jesus flitted from tree to tree   I had a dream, Joe   And a society of whores stuck needles in an image of me   I had a dream, Joe   It was Autumn time and thickly fell the leaves   And in that dream, Joe   A pimp in seersucker suit sucked a toothpick   And pointed his finger at me         I had a dream,   I had a dream,   I had a dream, Joe         I opened my eyes, Joe   The night had been a giant, dribbling and pacing the boards   I opened my eyes, Joe   All your letters and cards stacked up against the door   I opened my eyes, Joe   The morning light came slowly tumbling through the crack   In the window, Joe   And I thought of you and I felt like I was lugging   A body on my back         I had a dream,   I had a dream,   I had a dream, Joe         Where did you go, Joe?   On that endless, senseless, demented drift   Where did you go, Joe?   Into the woods, into the trees, where you move and shift   Where did you go, Joe?   All dressed up in your ridiculous seersucker suit   Where did you go, Joe?   With that strew of wreckage   Forever at the heel of your boot         I had a dream   I had a dream   I had a dream, Joe   I had a dream   I had a dream   I had a dream, Joe
