414 seconds


That day that I say I woke up to find a heap of mist
I wake up that day with a shark
Not knowing if I’ve been asleep for moments, minutes or millennia

I look around, all plants have lived it and died
Did you spiral in the sink?
They are livid and dried
Even in the glass, he looked at me
He says weaver can’t be flied
And I care about dream
The terrible thing that I did in that dream
The thing that woke me up

I ask myself, did I do that terrible thing only in my dream?
Or is the dream simply a hard brink bit of self-deception
When in I dream that I only did the terrible thing that I did
In a dream

What part of the dream is true?
What part of the truth is a dream?

I throw out the coffee to drink the soup
But there are wonders I have to know
I run this happening
I launch myself like a jet pilot jerkin himself from the doom in the far earth below
I throw myself through the door
I fall down the hall
I turn up through the steps
Turn up through the steps

Round the corner, stumbling and flailing
Fumes and exhaust, blackened fluid smoke below it
Running for the bus I cry
Oh God bless love
I have been on that non-stop
Happiness

In that terrible dream
The terrible thing I did in that dream
The thing that woke me up
I ask myself, did I do that terrible thing only in my dream?
Or is the dream simply a hard brink bit of self-deception
When in I dream that I only did the terrible thing that I did
In a dream
In a dream
In a dream

What part of the dream is true?
What part of the truth is a dream?
What part of the dream is true?
What part of the truth is a dream?
What part of the dream is true?
What part of the truth is a dream?

What part of the truth is a dream?
What part of the truth is a dream?
What part of the truth is a dream?

Round the corner, stumbling and flailing
Fumes and exhaust, blackened fluid smoke below it
Running for the bus I cry
Oh God bless love
I have been on this all night non-stop
I have been on this all night non-stop
Happiness
Happiness
Happiness
Happiness

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Pere Ubu is an American experimental rock band formed in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1975. Founded by vocalist David Thomas and guitarist Peter Laughner, the group underwent several lineup changes that included Allen Ravenstine, Scott Krauss (drums) and Tony Maimone (bass). Laughner left the band in 1976 to be replaced by Tom Herman. Pere Ubu is known for their experimental and provocative sound that blends elements of rock, punk, avant-garde and noise. Their music is characterized by dark and surreal lyrics, often inspired by American pop culture and exploitation cinema. Some of their most representative songs include "Street Waves", "Final Solution" and "Non-Alignment Pact". Their debut album, "The Modern Dance", released in 1978, is considered a post-punk classic. Pere Ubu has continued to record and perform to this day, maintaining a loyal fan base thanks to their innovative music and David Thomas' charisma.
