I dreamt of god last night Woke up on the side step, in fluorescent light The kerb was kicking in, and I was in full flight Oh yeah, I dreamt of god last night I counted up the years Later scared my face, on all the acid tears The measure of a man, who grades his life by fears Oh yeah, I counted up the years Up on the roof, of a concrete block I tasted it once, I know it don't stop You're leaving, you're leaving, baby don't speak I lean over the edge And spit in the street I dreamt of god last night Layed out on the red brick, watching satellites Crawl across the sky, and making all things right Oh yeah, I dreamt of god last night I counted up my days The people I've betrayed The people I have saved The goodness, and the mercy Followed all my ways Oh yeah, I counted up my days Often I hear, the blood harmonies Come in off the coast, come in on the breeze I'm tired, I'm tired, baby don't speak My head on the stairs, my feet in the street I dreamt of god last night A father to the orphan of eternal life A love that has no shadow Knows my pain, my plight Oh yeah, I dreamt of god last night
