Dreamer's Disease

lyrics

So i went to the doctor to see just what's wrong
I said, "I got this aching head man, and I sleep way too long"
"Well are ya runnin' a fever, can ya finish your meals?"
and I said, "No doc, set me straight and tell me the deal!"

"Well listen now son, you've got the dreamers disease,
it'll make you sick sweat and shake, make ya weak in the knees
It'll turn your outsides in, and your insides out
Not to mention you'll develop a bad case of the gout"

"Well please, good sir, help me ease my mind
Are there some pills I can take, or someone's shoes I can shine?"
"Well easy now, son, you'll have to wait in line
The corner store opens tomorrow at 'bout a quarter to nine."

Help me lord if ya please
I got the dreamer's, I got the dreamer's disease

Well I ran outta there just as fast I could
I was feelin' mad at the world, a bit misunderstood
So I screamed to the heavens shouting, "Give me a sign!"
But instead of waiting for an answer I grabbed a bottle of wine

I drank until I saw the gates of Sodom
In hopes that I'd find the answer at the bottles' bottom
But nothin' at all changed inside of me
and I knew I was due for another reverie

Help me lord if ya please
I got the dreamers, I got the dreamers disease

The next mornin' when I awoke from up outta my dream
About a ten foot tall man and his killin' machine
He grabbed me by my shirt and put a gun to my head
and said,
"If you eat those pills son, you'd be better off dead"

Well I didn't care I ran down to the corner store
The pharmacists said, "Here's ten pills," and I said
"Gimme some more!"
I swallowed them all and in the blink of an eye
I was just like every other ordinary guy

Help me lord if ya please
I got the dreamers, I got the dreamers disease

First my beard, disappeared
Then I stopped singin' songs
And all my crazy little thoughts
went back where they belong

Then the next mornin' I found myself driving a silver sedan
and everything seemed to be going just according to plan

I'm on my bended knees
Help me lord if ya please
I got the dreamers
I got the dreamers disease
