My Dream Girl Don’t Exist [Live 1992]
[Spoken Word Intro]
Okay, this next song is um… it's a companion to another song but it will neve― probably never coming out ether. But, I write these, I write these longs songs and they get cut up into other songs and then some songs make it, some don't but. lets see

[Verse 1]
My dream girl don't exist
At the age of five she slit her wrist
She didn't know that I'd be hanging around
So her parents buried her in the ground
And this day I can still hear the sound of a life in outer space

[Verse 2]
My dream girl don't exist
Just you and I and this TV
And this illness seems to feel so strange
Like a henchman that's about to hang the moon up like a ball and chain
And set its sands ablaze

[Bridge]
And the weight is waiting on
Feel the world so real and strong

[Verse 3]
My dream girl don't exist
Took her photograph from a history book
And I believe she had a voice and name
Three children on the coast of Maine
Her life was in a hurricane of love and real embrace
[Verse 4]
My dream girl don't exist
At the age of five she slit her wrist
She didn't know that I'd be hanging around
So one day she took a stroll to town
And walked in front of a Greyhound bound for New York central state

[Outro]
And the weight is waiting on
And the weight is waiting on
Feel the world so real and strong
She goes and now she knows she'll never be afraid
