Slacker Lyrics

Man, I just had the weirdest dream back on the bus there

Do you ever have those dreams that are just completely real?

I mean, they're so vivid, it's just like completely real

It's like there's always something bizarre going on in those

I have one about every two years or something

I always remember 'em really good

It's like there's always someone getting run over

Or something really weird

One time I had lunch with Tolstoy, another time I was a roadie for Frank Zappa

Anyway

So this dream I just had, it was just like that,

Except instead of anything bizarre going on

I mean, there was nothing going on at all

Man, It was like The Omega Man

There was just nobody around

I was just traveling around

You know, staring out the windows of buses and trains and cars, you know

When I was at home, I was, like, flipping through the TV stations endlessly

Reading

I mean, how many dreams do you have where you read in a dream?

Wait man, there was this book I just read on the bus

You know, it was my dream, so I guess I wrote it or something

But, uh, man, it was bizarre

It was like

The premise for this whole book

Was that every thought you have creates its own reality, you know?

It's like every choice or decision you make

The thing you choose not to do fractions off and becomes its own reality, you know

And just goes on from there forever

I mean, it's like

You know, in the Wizard of Oz

When Dorothy meets the Scarecrow

And they do that little dance at that crossroads

And they think about going all those directions

Then they end up going in that one direction

I mean, all those other directions

Just because they thought about it, became separate realities

They just went on from there and lived the rest of their life

I mean, entirely different movies, but we'll never see it

Because, you know, we're kind of trapped in this one reality restriction type of thing
