lyrics

I’ve been having a lot of dreams that seem like specific allegories of the chaos in my life. For example, I’m in the former apartment with Sayer and we let in a woman who shows up at the door. She, in turn, invites a big Manson-like crowd of hippies in who start turning the place upside down, digging through our closets and refrigerator. I’m full of anxiety trying to regain control of the place. (Segue into musical theme 05) And then I have inscrutable dreams like this:
I was on a cruise ship with my family. It was like a family trip when I was young, going to a lake in Minnesota in a station wagon together, but this was in the Mediterranean. I got off the ship on a Greek island, leaving my family for a while. I walked along the sea and came to a little café, where I ate sausages and drank beer. The guy who ran the café spoke English and we immediately took to each other. We left the café together and ended up on a street corner where he performed magic tricks for the tourists who passed by, putting out a hat for money. Somehow the hat was my pants, so the café owner gave me his pants. When it was time for me to get back to the ship to meet my family, I realized I was wearing my new friend’s loose brown pants and I started crying. He said “wait a minute” and then quickly sewed a sheet into a ridiculously baggy pair of pants. His own family came out and laughed at my makeshift pants, which cheered me up. They asked me to stay for dinner, but I said that I had to go meet my own family and I left.
