I had a dream about the future There were thieves and there were butchers Mother Teresa's ghost was my 8th grade teacher Michael Jackson sounded just like my preacher I saw monkeys playing in the rain And Frankenstein, he was walking without his chains Marlon Brando smiled, then he took a knee And I was standing next to the Chinese boy who said he knew me I love to dream, I love to dream And I don't mind crying I love to dream, and I don't mind dying Dream, dream, all I wanna do is dream Ah, let me dream Adam and Eve and that snake were there too Adam was a Christian and Eve was a Jew I got excited though when they started to slow dance To one of my favorite songs in the still of the night Ah, yeah I had a dream about the future There were thieves and there were butchers Jesus Christ was there and he gave me his autograph And the great Lawrence Welk, well he stood close to the phonograph Ah, yeah I love to dream, I love to dream I love to dream, and I don't mind Don't mind crying
