A Picture of You in a Picture of Me
Long ago at the Bioscope
All our dreams were projected on screens
Weekend warriors and downtown soldiers
All sat on the edge of their seats
We counted... one for the money
And two for the show
And three for the company
The lights went down, projector and sound
Do you know who I saw on that screen?
I found a picture of you in a picture of me
Somewhere closer to God, all the places unseen
I watched that picture of you turn into pictures of me
Take me deeper inside the American dream
In the day of Plato's cave
Where illusions were sold for free
Soul surveyors and runaways
Were the picture of you and me
They counted... one for the money
And two for the show
And three for epiphanies
It's funny how life's now profound
After seeing it on the big screen
I found a picture of you in a picture of me
Somewhere closer to God, all the places unseen
I watched that picture of you turn into pictures of me
Take me deeper inside the American dream
Alright!
I found a picture of you
In a picture of me
Yes, a picture of you
In that picture of me
I found a picture of you in a picture of me
Somewhere closer to God, all the places unseen
I watched that picture of you turn into pictures of me
Take me deeper inside the American dream
Oooo!

Somewhere closer to God, all the places unseen
I watched that picture of you turn into pictures of me
Take me deeper inside the American dream
Oooo!
