Lyrics A Day At The Dreamies - The Legendary Pink Dots

A Day At The Dreamies

Pink mountains dance excited while volcanoe waits behind a wall of matted
Ginger hair, and he’s prepared… he tampers with his belt, licks the wax
Off his moustache, reaches for his etchings… Bats are watching high
Above from draughty rafters.
They’re not as blind as they appear while
Churchill barks a strict command into a box of toy commandos.
«Behave in
Class!"(for inner peace…)
Screen turns blank.
Blank faces scream for action because they’ve paid to
See the dream machine — the darkest corners of another soul.
Where
Inhibitions are prohibited, and a secret is always told.
Where everyone’s
An artist and all that’s required is a pill and a pillow.
Lay down.
CREATE!
Lay down, CREATE!
Doctor finds a loose electrode and throws it at his nurse
Who breathes seductively down a microphone, «Stay seated… Service will
Resume in seconds — here’s some music while we find the fault.
You caught
Us napping.
Get it?
Get it?
No-one laughs.
But no-one leaves as lights go
Down and screen turns orange… lovers walking through a meadow.
Sunset.
Picking apples.
Love’s young dream on the dream machine!
A technicolour evesdrop in private land where wishes turn to promises and
Dead men spring to life.
Brighter.
Bigger.
Fearless… Fun for all the
Family — at the dreamies… who is playing 'Sleepy' tonight?
