Nicotine Dream
One night I dreamed I could see everything
And nothing has ever been the same for me and my everything
When I was but four or five I knew I wasn't meant to fly but I wished for wings anyway
Never seen and never found forces keep us on the ground; some say it's just the gravity
But I feel it now: the thinnest air remains too thick, a healthy man remains too sick
The castle sits so high in the sky, invisible to naked eyes, yet children know otherwise
And just like a nicotine dream
I don't know what none of this means
Like a long-lost childhood thing
I'll need you in my nicotine dreams
My nicotine dreams
My nicotine dreams
One time, I was 'round seventeen, she was like a beauty queen and I was still breathing
We stepped into the dance sublime
Our bodies and our tongues in time, boundaries dissolving
And though I woke alone like the angel never shared my bed
Her image never left my head
I know if I want to see her again, I just close my eyes and whisper goodbye
And just like a nicotine dream
I don't know what none of this means
Like the sound of my favorite scream
I'll hear you in my nicotine dreams
My nicotine dreams
My nicotine dreams
One day when I had turned forty-one I wanted to have some fun
So I up and left my life behind
I walked along the cliffs alone lookin' down in hopes to see a home
But I couldn't see nothing
Cold cloud stars behind my back, the edge beneath my feet
I am a man no wife will ever cheat
Heaven's breath breezin' 'cross my face, the golden light of dawn turned gray Welcoming my wedding day
And just like a nicotine dream
I don't know what none of this means
Like that dead-eyed, razor-toothed thing
I'll see you in my nicotine dreams
My nicotine dreams
My nicotine dreams
These nicotine dreams
And nothing has ever been the same for me and my everything
When I was but four or five I knew I wasn't meant to fly but I wished for wings anyway
Never seen and never found forces keep us on the ground; some say it's just the gravity
But I feel it now: the thinnest air remains too thick, a healthy man remains too sick
The castle sits so high in the sky, invisible to naked eyes, yet children know otherwise
And just like a nicotine dream
I don't know what none of this means
Like a long-lost childhood thing
I'll need you in my nicotine dreams
My nicotine dreams
My nicotine dreams
One time, I was 'round seventeen, she was like a beauty queen and I was still breathing
We stepped into the dance sublime
Our bodies and our tongues in time, boundaries dissolving
And though I woke alone like the angel never shared my bed
Her image never left my head
I know if I want to see her again, I just close my eyes and whisper goodbye
And just like a nicotine dream
I don't know what none of this means
Like the sound of my favorite scream
I'll hear you in my nicotine dreams
My nicotine dreams
My nicotine dreams
One day when I had turned forty-one I wanted to have some fun
So I up and left my life behind
I walked along the cliffs alone lookin' down in hopes to see a home
But I couldn't see nothing
Cold cloud stars behind my back, the edge beneath my feet
I am a man no wife will ever cheat
Heaven's breath breezin' 'cross my face, the golden light of dawn turned gray Welcoming my wedding day
And just like a nicotine dream
I don't know what none of this means
Like that dead-eyed, razor-toothed thing
I'll see you in my nicotine dreams
My nicotine dreams
My nicotine dreams
These nicotine dreams
