Dry Dreams Lyrics - Singles - Jim Carroll

Each night, they surround me 

With the lights and the microphones . . . 

With their bodies and the mile of cable 

Like a magic ring of bone 

Every night I have the same dream: 

A man behind the door 

With a tattooed erection 

And no reflection 

And his eyes like a chinese whore . . . 

Every night I have the same dream 

(repeat 3 times) 

The madonnas at the crossroads, 

Dressed like future spies 

They shine their lips with android sperm 

And the riviera skies . . . 

But every night I have the same dream 

It's a vision of the dead . . . the way 

They stare into space 

And never see a human face. 

But just the back of their own heads 

Every night I have the same dream 

(repeat 3 times) 

Earth, water, wind and flame 

The designers of my fate . . . 

Every night they come to me 

Release me with their weight . . . 

Every night I have the same dream 

A dome upon the shore 

Where some method actors 

Bomb the big reactor 

And it melts right through the core 

Every night I have the same dream 

(repeat 3 times) 

Each night, they surround me 

With the lights and the microphones . . . 

With their bodies and the miles of cable 

Like a magic ring of bone 

Every night I have the same dream 

White crows in an empty sky 

When I call they descend, the young trees bend 

And the dream is always dry . . . 

Every night I have the same dream 

(repeat 3 times)
