The dreams - that pass across your face
Come from a secret place
Ev'ryone close your eyes

It's true - I am a shaky ladder
Intergalactic matter
Outside of space and time

But who - is standing on your street?
These buildings are not real
My tricks are useless here

It's true - that's what a lover hears
It's what a fool believes
It's not too late to try

Someday - I'll step out from the shadow
Intergalactic matter
Outside of space and time

Dirty feet - crooked teeth
Somewhere out beyond the stars
A funny face - so lost in space are we

Ev'ryone's enlightened ev'ryday
You may reach Nirvana when you comb your hair

I know - we'll join this cosmic saga
Intergalactic matter
Where we will meet tonight
Spiraling out of sight
Outside of space and time
