Whenever I Dream
[Rhoda]
Whenever I dream, I dream pornographically explicit
I dream I'm a horse, which is probably a penis
But is it? Is it?
I don't know
Things that I think mean one thing sometimes
Sometimes do, sometimes don't
The world is a confusing place to live in
But what I mean is we get by
In my dreams I'm always up and walking
Self-assured, self deceived, not about to die
But when I wake it's gone
And then I carry on
Whenever I dream, I dream I'm not writing something tawdry
I write about how I'm a cow and then I become my cousin Audrey
Tawdry?
[Gordon]
Yes it is
[Rhoda]
Things that I think mean one thing sometimes
Sometimes do, sometimes don't
The world is a confu-blblkjfjlsj- live in
But out there no one understands
In my dreams I'm all composed, composing
At the keys symphonies drip from these two hands
But when I wake, it's gone
And then I carry on
Whenever I dream, whenever I laugh
Whenever I spring, whenever I eat
Whenever I spring, whenever I fart
Whenever I spring, whenever I dream
Whenever I dream, whenever I dream
Whenever I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Whenever I dream, whenever I laugh
Whenever I spring, whenever I eat
Whenever I spring, whenever I fart
Whenever I spring, whenever I dream
Whenever I dream, whenever I dream
Whenever I-I-I-Ayeyeyayaya
