About a dream... This track had it's basics recorded in 06 in "the band room". I think it may have been 07 when I recorded the guitars at Jared's crib. 2009 found me tracking terrible vocals and then in South Hadley tracking bass. I resang this last week @ Tamas' place. I think it's finally done. Was worth the wait. -JS 1/6/2014

lyrics

there is a house - parallel
next to the home - I bid farewell
the girl is gone - she left her song
and it plays on long after we have gone

i see it - on the screen - it looks just like it did in my dream
still looks the same - but - the feelings have - all changed

an i know / yer talk is cheap
an i know / what ya do and do not mean
and i know what i intend to keep
i hope you know how much this means to me

and there she sat - turned away from all light
she had become a creature of the night
you never should have mixed those potions
you never should have cast those spells
i smelled you burn the blade and i know you drank it all
i see you getting dirty
you know sex sells
success is perfection and my GOD has GONE TO HELL
but
you don't need that statue
you don't need those books
you don't want my religion
an you certainly don't want those looks
i saw you cutting corners
everywhere you'd try to hide
i know you'd elaborate about the times you'd fly
i see you getting high every day
and every night with clutches near and crutches beard
and witches hat and marijuana lies
away and up and back around
wipe today's luck on morrows brow
come near far and come back down to
television sounds
the cocaine wars
the war on drugs
the war on you
the war on me
and my apostrophe
it's the way you wanted life to say
it's the way you wanted life to say

i see it - on the screen - it looks just like it did in my dream
still looks the same - but - the feelings have - all changed
an i know / yer talk is cheap
an i know / what ya do and do not mean
and i know what i intend to keep
i hope you know how much this means to me
i hope you know, i hope you know, i hope you know
