The Dream Police Lyrics - David Byrne

Combing the snakes in his head 

Reading a book in his bed 

Getting ready for the night to begin 

Waiting for daylight to end 

In this court of law 

This court of common pleas 

The crimes that you've committed 

You claim were only a dream 

Ev'ryone has the same dreams 

On diff'rent days of the week 

We are the watchdogs of your mind 

We are the dream police

The judge has closed his eyes 

The court begins to dream 

Of crimes that you committed 

While you were lying asleep 

Ev'reyone has the same dreams 

On diff'rent days of the week 

We are the watchdogs of your mind 

We are the dream police

Getting ready for the night to begin 

Waiting for daylight to end 

Getting ready for the night to begin 

Waiting for daylight to end
