lyrics

Dreams of the old world in your head
they will take you places you don't know
Dreams of the old world in your head
There are two truths that you are aware of
that you are aware of

Dreams of the old world in your head
but you only see the way the snow melts at night
you didn't see it fall during the day

Dreams of the old world in your head
you close the window
you close the window
you don't want to let too much light in

That night you walked downtown
and there was no one out

Dreams of the old world in your head
Dreams of the old world in your head
You only see the snow at night when it melts
Oh believe me
you can believe me
there is nothing here

You walk through someone's back yard
to look out at the river
and the old world goes away

"Satisfied with his care and the width of his belly, Lewis escaped and returned to San Francisco, where he was arrested after ripping open his clothing and asking passersbys to witness the divine light that burned in his breast."
