| I meet people I’ve only seen in dreams
|
| they make me happy -- then sad
|
| do you know what this means
|
| I go to places that I recognize
|
| but the time’s never tight
|
| she says that it’s all lies
|
| I have adventures that don’t compute
|
| I talk to friends and leave their homes
|
| in such disrepute
|
| saying everything has a cause
|
| everything has a root and I’m gathering proof
|
| And I want to know what’s happening in my life
|
| I need some explanation
|
| could there be a joker in this slow game
|
| playing for what’s mine
|
| cheating all the time --
|
| If you are the joker in this slow game
|
| well, who do you want to win?
