  1. Now the dreamer is still dreaming
    The dreamer is still asleep
    The dreamer is still asleep
    The dreamer is somnambulising
    The somnambulist in an ambulance
    A somnambulist in an ambulance
    A somnambulist in an ambulance
    Somnambulist in an ambulance (repeated)
    Somnambulist in an ambulist
    Pissed a somnambulist, er
    Pissed a somnambulist, er
    Kissed a somnambulist in an ambulance, in an ambulance
    I kissed a somnambulist in an ambulance, in an ambulance, ...
    I kissed an ambulance
    I kissed an ambulance, I pissed an ambulance
    I killed an ambulance, I killed an ambulance
    I killed an ambulance, I killed an ambulance
    Then I killed my doctor
    I said, "Physician, heal thyself:
    You're in no position to heal thyself
    You're no position to kill yourself"
    The somnambulist in an ambulance
    (repeated in various arrangements)
    I kissed and killed an ambulance (repeated)
    Somnambulist in an ambulance (repeated)

    I, I, I, I ... (repeated)
    I kissed and killed an ambulance (repeated)

    Hush, may I ask you all for silence?
    The dreamer is still asleep
    May the goddess keep us from single visions
    And beauty sleep

    The dreamer is still asleep
    The dreamer is still asleep
    He's inventing landscapes in their magnetic fields
    Working out a means of escape, he says
    We'll cut across the crop circles

    The seer says no
    There's not much time left for these escape attempts
    Look at it this way
    In ten years' time
    Who'll even remember? Who'll care?
    Who'll even remember? Who'll care?
    One dies like that, deep within it
    Almost inside it
    It's there for a reason

    I'll cut out my old address
    Attack the little book
    To tear and cut the paper
    To care and touch the paper

    The beginning is also the end
    Time defines it, time unwinds it
    It will end
    Like close friendships
    Nothing could be further
    We forget the space between people and places
    Is empty
    We forget, and don't notice the loss
    And don't notice the loss (repeated)

    Crossing into venerable degenerations
    Such radiant pollution
    The god with the silver hand surveys this vast,
    Surveys these vast contaminations

    In the heart of your heart
    Your eye remains
    Is the hurt you? Is the blister you call loveless?
    Your whole life is a cold slow shock
    Your whole life is a cold slow shock

    Take time
    Take a little time
    To track the shabby shadow down
    The pissy mists of history
    Down the pissy mists of history
    Take a little time
    To track the shabby shadows down
    The pissy mists of history

    The dreamer is still dreaming
    The dreamer is still dreaming

    Hush; may I ask you all for silence?
    The dreamer is still asleep
    May I ask you all for silence?
    The dreamer is still dreaming (repeated)
    The dreamer is still asleep
