Stolen From A Dreamer

All of my ideas
Are stolen from my dreams
Stolen from a dreamer
Who doesn't know what it means

Every message that I deliver
Started its life as an arrow in a quiver
Of a cartoon madman El Dorado
Fixing his gaze on a golden swallow

Every existential phrase
Depicts a look askance
And every animated sequence
Looks like a skeleton dance

All of my ideas
Are stolen from my dreams
And only a somnambulist
Would know what it means

Living in a dreamland plastic city
Mandrake dances in the fire so pretty
Successions of images, ideas and emotions
Simmering together in a goblet of potion

Every existential phrase
Depicts a look askance
And every animated sequence
Looks like a skeleton dance

All of my ideas
Are stolen from my dreams
It takes another dreamer
To get what it means

Stolen from a mandragora, stolen from an imp
Foe or friend, REM, walking with a limp
