we were down in Brazil and, man
We were in Rio de Janeiro, and uh
We had this, this sort of, uh
Security- guard type guy and he was
Supposed to take us around
I said "Hey, could, you know
Could you take us to the,
Show us the prostitution, and the drug
Deals, and the night fights,
Of your town?" And he said "Sure" So we
We pull up to this hooker and
She's wearing some kind of
A, a bright green miniskirt, and it
Says "Get over here!" And she
Over and she thinks she's busted
But she's not busted naw,
Her on the ass a few times
And say, "Hey, what's up, girl?"
Get out of bed and I clear up my head and
I don't want to go but I do it instead
We are dreams within a dream
Get into bed and I turn off my head
Was it something she said?
We are dreams within a dream
And my friend Hillel had this
Datsun painted green, and
The rains would come and the
Hills would just kind of melt down
In to the city lights, and, well, you
Know, we'd smoke weed and we'd
To progressive rock music, and just kind
Of trip out and well, we would
Dream, you know, we would dream
To do, and we would talk about
Girls and music and, you know, hillel
I was like, "Whatever you want to
Do, man, I'm coming with you
I'm right with you my friend"
Get out of bed and I clear up my head and
I don't want to go but I do it instead
We are dreams within a dream
Get into bed and I turn off my head
Was it something she said?
Why in the world would you want it to be?
Why would you want to take it so
All these things that come
Make you stop and wonder why,
Can 't they just spell it out,
For the simple man like me?
I reach out to my family and I say
With a punishing hand, no
It's about heaven in your heart"
I wanna choose love instead of fear
Won't you come right now, over here
Let me make it easier this time, I love you
