The Dream Police

Combing the snakes in his head Reading a book in his bed Getting ready for the night to begin Waiting for daylight to end In this court of law This court of common pleas The crimes that you committed You claim were only a dream Everyone has the same dreams On different days of the week We are the watchdogs of your mind We are the dream police The judge has closed his eyes The court begins to dream Of crimes that you committed While you were lying asleep Everyone has the same dreams On different days of the week We are the watchdogs of your mind We are the dream police Combing the snakes in his head Reading a book in his bed Getting ready for the night to begin Waiting for daylight to end Getting ready for the night to begin Waiting for daylight to end --- The Dream Police - David Byrne
