Korea On a cruise ship in the 1980s The ocean was rabid and the engine wasn't right You got a tan and I spent our savings And we somehow danced the foxtrot every night It was only a dream If I murmur let me flail, baby, let me shake It was only a dream And I have the nightmares when I'm awake On Wall Street in the 1920s You told fortunes for 75 cents You knew the future but your voice was funny And the bankers weren't sure quite what you meant It was only a dream If I murmur let me flail, baby, let me shake It was only a dream And I have the nightmares when I'm awake On an island in the 1490s I tried out for the band You arranged monoliths that spelled out in their language "Kill the white sailors when they land" It was only a dream If I murmur let me flail, baby, let me shake It was only a dream And I have the nightmares when I'm awake I was happy when Latrell Sprewell was my best friend And I was happy when a Korean website taught me to fly again And I was happy when I married a stranger on a subway train And I was happy when the fires burned forever on the open range
