Dream Within a Dream - S.P.O.C.K

Standing by the window

watching a green star

Thinking about the immediate future

smoking a final cigar

The autopilot is running the ship

I turn off the light

and go to bed for 27 years

that will feel like one night

Close my eyes

Fall asleep

Feeling strange

Into the deep

All of a sudden, we’re under attack

My daughter is aiming at me

I wake up, jump into my car

and watch a little TV

Hold on a second, what’s going on?!

I don’t have any kids or a wife!

I was on a trip to another planet

I don’t recognize this life

My first time

In a cryo-bed

No side-effects

So they said

Dream within a dream

inside my head

it’s so extreme

the things I’ve seen

How could it be

but a dream within a dream?
