I Had A Dream, Joe Lyrics - Singles - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

I had a dream, I had a dream 

I had a dream, I had a dream 

I had a dream, Joe 

I had a dream, Joe 

You were standing 

In the middle of an open road 

I had a dream, Joe 

Your hands were raised up to the sky 

And your mouth was covered in foam 

I had a dream, Joe 

A shadowy Jesus 

You flitted from tree to tree 

I had a dream, Joe 

The society of whores stuck 

Needles in an image of me 

I had a dream, Joe 

It was autumn time 

And thickly fell the leaves 

And in that dream, Joe 

A pimp in a seersucker suit 

Sucked a toothpick 

And pointed his finger at me 

I had a dream, I had a dream 

I had a dream, I had a dream 

I had a dream, Joe 

I opened my eyes, Joe 

The night had been a giant 

Dribbling and pacing the boards 

I opened my eyes, Joe 

All your letters and cards 

All stacked up against the door 

I opened my eyes, Joe 

The morning light came slowly 

Tumbling through the crack 

In the window, Joe 

And I thought of you man 

And I felt like I was lugging 

A body on my back 

I had a dream, I had a dream 

I had a dream, I had a dream 

I had a dream, Joe 

Where did you go, Joe? 

On that endless, on that senseless 

On that demented drift 

Where did you go, Joe? 

It was into the woods, it was into the trees 

Where you move and shift 

Where did you go, Joe? 

All dressed up 

In your ridiculous seersucker suit 

Where did you go, Joe? 

With that strew of wreckage 

Forever at the heel of your boot 

I had a dream, I had a dream 

I had a dream, I had a dream 

I had a dream, Joe 

I had a dream, I had a dream 

I had a dream, Joe 

I had a dream, I had a dream 

I had a dream, Joe
