This one's about a dream I had last night
How an old man tracked me home and stepped inside
He put his foot inside the door and gave a crooked smile
Something in his eyes something in his laugh
Something in his voice that made my skin crawl off
He said I've seen you here before I know your name
You could have your pick of pretty things
You could have it all everything at once
Everything you've seen everything you'll need
everything you've ever had in fantasies
~INTERLUDE~
You've one life you've one life you've one life left to lead
You've one life you've one life you've one life left to lead
~VERSE 2~
I woke up from my dream as a golden man
With a girl I've never seen with golden skin
I jumped up to my feet she asked me what was wrong
I began to scream I don't think this is me
Is this just a dream or really happening
~REPEAT INTERLUDE~
~CHORUS~
What direction what direction
What direction what direction
I'm splitting up I'm splitting up
This is my personal disaffection
What direction what direction what direction now
~VERSE 3~
I looked outside the glass at golden shores
Golden ships and masts with golden cords
As my refection passed I hated what I saw
My golden eyes were dead and a thought passed through my head
A heart that is made of gold can't really beat at all
~BRIDGE~
I wanted to wake up again
I wanted to wake up again
Without a touch of gold
Without a touch of gold
~CHORUS 2~
G5 P.M
What direction what direction
What direction what direction
Death or action
Life begins at the intersection
What direction what direction what direction now
~VERSE 4~
I woke up as before but the gold was gone
My wife was at the door with her night robe on
My heart beat once or twice and life flooded my veins
Everything had changed my lungs had found their voice
And what was once routine was now the perfect joy
~OUTRO~
You've one life you've one life one life left to lead
You've one life you've one life one life left to lead
Peace, Love, I'm out.
