Kings to follow, child to teach
Fools to swallow, girl is fast asleep
Statue stare, place to reach
Watching Jeffrey fall asleep

Daddy hugs, dogs to walk
Books to lug, hands to talk
A fever in my naive brain
Not wanting things to be the same

Once I had a dream (once I had a dream)
Once I had a dream (once I had a dream)
I dreamt the dream in green, grass green

Ramen noodle, black-haired poodle
Hansel, Gretel, how we hate them
Funny, sunny, smart-ass honey
Different, scary, black-dyed hairy

Once I had a dream (once I had a dream)
Once I had a dream (once I had a dream)
I dreamt the dream in green, grass green

I'm addicted to your spirit, Raven
Forget the operas we sang
I'm warped in your personality
And I wonder if I'll see you on Letterman
Ramen noodle, black-haired poodle
Hansel, Gretel, how we hate them
Funny, sunny, smart-ass honey
Different, scary, black-dyed hairy

My friend Raven
My friend Raven

I'm obsessed with your addictions, Raven
Forget the Mardi Gras we drank
I understand you were saying you're afraid of the second coming

But fear of flying you're denying Raven
Fear of flying you're denying Raven
Fear of flying you're denying Raven

But fear of flying you're denying Raven
Fear of flying you're denying Raven
Fear of flying you're denying Raven
