lyrics

The dream that I am having now
Is the same dream I've been having
This night and for all time
I'm in a cell awaiting execution
It makes no reason
And it makes no rhyme
It is a shadow play
And I am the player
Got no choice but to play along

The me in this cell
Is always the same me
But the rest is a revolving cast
One night the priest is now the guy
Who played some weird part in my past
It is a shadow play
And I am the player
It's a world gone wrong

I tell the judge and jury
That this is all a dream
But it makes me look like a lunatic
No one wants to believe me
And why would they
"String him up clickety-click"
It is a shadow play
And I am the player
Got no choice but to play along

As the dream winds up
I'm taken to the gallows
And I scream, When I die you die with me
'Cause when this dream ends
You will end with it
I am he as you are he as you are we
It is a shadow play
And I am the player
It's a world gone wrong
