Is It Raining, or Am I Dreaming? Lyrics

I'm so tired of contemplation

I spend days completely inert

With an empty feeling

And the coffee doesn't work

Church bells toll through a digital speaker

Every time a battery dies

I hear them ringing through the window

And my hips begin to rise

Why don't we dance

For the first time

In a lavender and burgundy room

And dream

If only for a night or two

Let's skip town for the doomed republic

Escape the home security system

Let's pick a fight

On a warm summer night

Let's trace a path through the prairie states

In a shape just like the lines of Nazca

Listen carefully

To what I'm about to ask ya

We have our lives

For such a short time

And the happy moments are so few

Why don't you dream with me

If only for a night or two?

Is it raining

Or am I dreaming?

Is it raining

Or am I dreaming?

Is it raining

Or am I dreaming?

Let's get a house in the middle of nowhere

And furnish it with bottles of wine

That we drink at the clip

Of the cruel passage of time

Off of the highway in Central New Jersey

A wise guy grew into a wise man

But his works and books of wisdom

Never had a single fan

How about we dance

For the first time

In a neon yellow biker bar

And dream

To the sound of the electric guitar

Why don't we dance

For a short time

In this crowded metropolitan tomb

And dream

If only for a night or two

Is it raining

Or am I dreaming?

Is it raining

Or am I dreaming?

Is it raining

Or am I dreaming?

My neck is sore

From my head

Hanging so low

Is it raining

Or am I dreaming

Or both?
