Waiting For A Dream lyrics

Waiting for the present,

For the present to pass

Waiting for a dream to last

You are not my lover,

And you never will be

'Cause you've never done anything

To hurt me

There's a fire in the priory

And it's ruining this cocktail party

Yesterday I heard they cloned a baby

Now can I finally sleep with me?

Diving through the rising,

Through the rising waves of night

Keeping a reflection of you in hindsight

But in turning back, the brackish waters

Will not reflect you

After you have turned the color black

Of death, or something like that

There's a fire in the priory

And it's ruining this cocktail party

Yesterday I heard the plague is coming

Once again, to find me

There's a fire in the priory

And an ogre in the oval office

Once again we all will be so broken

Now can I finally sleep again?
