[Dm] [G]
I said, hold it, Doc, a [C] world war passed through my [D] brain.
He said, nurse, get your pad, the boy's obviously insane.
[G] He grabbed my [C] arm and I said, [D] ouch, as I landed on the psychiatric couch.
[G] He said, tell me [C] all about it.
[G]
[D] [G] [C]
[D] [G]
Well, the whole thing [C] started at three o'clock [D] fast.
It was all over by quarter past.
[G] I was down in the sewer [C] with some little lover [D] when I peeked out from a manhole [G] cover wondering
who turned the lights [C] on.
[D]
[G]
Well, I got up [C] and I walked around [D] up and down the lonesome town [G] just wondering which
[C] way to go.
I lit a [D] cigarette on a parking meter and I walked on [G] down the road.
It was a normal day.
[C]
[D] [G]
[C] [G]
Down the corner [C] by the hot dog [D] stand, I saw a [G] man.
I said, howdy, friend.
I [C] guess it's just us two.
[D] He screamed down the road.
He [G] flew.
[C] I thought it was a communist.
[Dm]
[G]
I remember [C] reading some newspaper [D] ads, so I turned on McConnell Rad, [G] but I didn't pay
the [C] con ed [D] bill, so the radio didn't work so [G] well.
I turned on my record player.
[C] That didn't work either.
I looked in the [D] closet, though, and there was Donovan.
[G]
[C] [Dm] [G]
Well, I spot a [C] girl before she could [D] leave.
I say, let's go play Adam and [G] Eve.
I take her by the heart in my hand or something.
She said, [D] hey, man, are you crazy or [G] something?
[C]
[D] You saw what happened last time they started that.
[G]
By that [C] time, I was feeling blue [D] and needed somebody to talk to.
[G] I saw a call of the operator of time [D] just to hear a voice of some [G] kind.
[C] She said, when you hear the beep, [G] [D]
it will be three o'clock.
She said that for about a month, and I hung up.
[G] It [C] erupted me just about [D] then, saying, I've been having the same [G] old dream, but mine's
different, don't you see?
I dreamt [D] the only person left after the war was [G] me.
I [C] didn't see you around.
[D]
[G]
Time [C] passed, and now it seems [D] everybody has [G] those dreams.
Everybody sees itself [D] walking around with nobody [G]
else.
[C] While some of the people can be half right part of the time, [D]
all of the people can be
part right some of the time, half the people can be part right all of the time, but all
of the people can't be all right all of the time.
T.S. Elliot said that.
I'll let you be in my dream if I can be in your dream, I said that.
