It's good to know you're alive
Because I dreamed you had died
And your body was hopelessly mangled
Suddenly you were back
But you lacked so much vigor
And your psyche was hopelessly mangled
Death, being dead, just a space in my head
Somewhere between thought and expression
Alive, alive, are you hip to my jive?
Are you dreaming of dreaming of dreaming?
Are you somewhere beyond my control
Have I lost all the senses, the sense I used to know
Where is the turnstile I used to call home?
Where is the comfort consciousness holds?
It's good to know you're alive
Because I dreamed you had died
All I thought that I knew was unknown
Death, being dead, just a space in my head
Somewhere between thought and expression
Alive, alive, are you hip to my jive?
Are you dreaming of dreaming of dreaming?
...or are you just stoned?
