he liked to sleep and then to dream
in there he never felt alone
a younger man with great belief
all the world's music in his room
and when he wakes up her spirit kisses him
he's still entangled in his dream
she always leaves him lovingly
on the zigzag of a moonbeam
in a dive in Guelph on a Friday
behind his kit
see him thrashing with RNR
in a tattooed fit
he plays...
while the guitar sways...
he plays...
in a three-pint haze
he liked to eat and then to read
in there he never felt alone
in Glasgow running from the law
on a day trip from his mind
and when the book is closed, its ethos follows him
through the mundane subway ride
it protects him from the shallow plot
of the workday's daily grind.
in a dive in Guelph on a Friday
behind his kit
see him thrashing with RNR
in a tattooed fit
he plays...
while the guitar sways...
he plays...
in a three-pint haze
