The Thousand Nights and One Night Lyrics

I dreamt of tadpoles

I dreamt of wax candles burning

I dreamt that I was flying

I dreamt that I was falling

But for all those nights of dreaming

I never once dreamt of you

I dreamt of cabbages cooking

On my grandmother's stove

I dreamt of rats crawling

Amid the Fresh Kills Dump

But for all those nights of dreaming

I never once dreamt of you

I dreamt of a Far Side calendar

It was glowing neon bright

Against the infinite ink black

Of a star-cluttered night

But for all those nights of dreaming

Between all those sleepless days

All those nights I spent dreaming away

I never once dreamt of you
