In the Still of the Night

I had a dream about the future
There were thieves and there were butchers
Mother Teresa's ghost was my 8th grade teacher
Michael Jackson sounded just like my preacher
I saw monkeys playing in the rain
And Frankenstein, he was walking without his chains
Marlon Brando smiled, then he took a knee
And I was standing next to the Chinese boy who said he knew me

I love to dream, I love to dream
And I don't mind crying
I love to dream, and I don't mind dying
Dream, dream, all I wanna do is dream
Ah, let me dream
Adam and Eve and that snake were there too
Adam was a Christian and Eve was a Jew

I got excited though when they started to slow dance
To one of my favorite songs in the still of the night
Ah, yeah I had a dream about the future
There were thieves and there were butchers
Jesus Christ was there and he gave me his autograph
And the great Lawrence Welk, well he stood close to the phonograph

Ah, yeah I love to dream, I love to dream
I love to dream, and I don't mind
Don't mind crying
