Only A Dream Lyrics - Adrian Belew

The woman screams at the windy day 

Her children play in the acid rain 

The water is green and the sky is brown 

The cars and buildings, all broken down 

Now what in the world is happening here 

Will somebody please explain 

Nothing I see makes sense to me 

Maybe it's only a dream 

The deer in the forest or the eagle in the sky 

They see man coming and they run to hide 

The birds on the shore will no longer fly 

They're covered in oil and they're bound to die 

Now how in the world does that make sense 

The killing of innocent beings 

What in the world is wrong with us 

Maybe it's only a dream 

The air we breathe and the food we eat 

Poor mother earth was poisoned in her sleep 

Now what in the world is happening here 

Will somebody please explain 

Nothing I see makes sense to me 

Tell me it's only a dream 

The woman screams at the wind and rain 

It's only a dream 

Just a bad dream 

What a bad dream
