Portals

I’ve been walking through a crowd
with nothing but my boots on.
A pirate’s parrot passes by – I’m high.
I’ve been going door to door
selling rubbing alcohol
Can’t find you face in this portal, can’t find
 
I’m pleading to a gavel:
I didn’t steal your bloodhound
The judge’s hands are pinwheels, alright?
I lost my limbs to plankton
Can’t peel the potatoes
In costume backstage, don’t know my lines
 
And then I start
I’m shaken loose
Open my eyes
And there is you
 
Back inside the circus ring
the lion tamer’s frisking me
I’m ice skating, I’m throwing flowers, I’m blind
Two months late for math class
I crack pencils on formulas
Can’t find my getaway car, I have tried
 
(chorus)
 
They’re just dreams
They’re just dreams
You open your eyes to reality
(repeat)
