Dead Man's Dream Lyrics - Procol Harum

As I lay down dying, a floor for my bed 

And a bundle of newspaper under my head 

I dreamed a dream, as strange as could be 

Concerning myself, and somebody like me 

We were in some city, the stranger and me 

The houses were open, and the streets empty 

The windows were bare, and the pavements dirty 

I asked where I was; my companion ignored me 

We entered a graveyard and searched for a tombstone 

The graves were disturbed, and the coffins wide open 

And the coprses were rotten, yet each one was living 

Their eyes were alive with maggots crawling 

I cried out in fear, but my voice had left me 

My legs were deformed, yet I moved quite freely 

My head was on fire, yet my hands were icy 

And everywhere light, yet darkness engulfed me
