Song | This Is a Death Dream |
Artist | Jandek |
Album | Nine-Thirty |
This is a death dream | |
In the daytime | |
I go to the cemetery buildings | |
In search of books | |
And never do I find the right one | |
I just browse through death books | |
When it seems the ones I want are out | |
In the night time I go with friends to the cemetery | |
And the entire time concerns | |
Carousings and adventures within the cemetery | |
But all others are insincere and even silly | |
Some figures predominate and I compromise my | |
Especial meeting to go with them | |
I always attempt to get some of these friends to go with me | |
But they are afraid | |
It seems I do not want to go alone | |
And leave each successive night with hopes for | |
Tomorrow's daytime excursion to the cemetery | |
Last time I was particularly upset | |
Despair that the right books will never be there | |
Because people will not bring them back and | |
My reliance is weak | |
I should find a way to require that which I want | |
Of special interest in the dream is the night time attraction | |
Of particular growing things | |
Which previously were cultivated in horror with another | |
In the night wanderings I attempt to get back to these to encounter horror | |
But they â" others are afraid or silly | |
And one or two are not | |
But show me replicas which are not the same | |
This I know and am disappointed | |
Earlier for interest I had a wine bottle | |
Weird death monsters approached and I admitted them | |
As they filed past into my house | |
Not the bedroom where others were | |
They danced in the living room | |
Extremely macabre and death-like moves | |
Others saw them and sometime later expressed horror as they left | |
Or escaped |
