lyrics

my dream girl don't exist
at the age of five she slit her wrist
she didn't know that i'd be hanging 'round
so her parents buried her in the ground
and to this day you can still hear the sound
of a life in outer space

my dream girl don't exist
just you and i and this T.V.
and this sickness seems to feel so strange
like a henchman that's about to hang
the moon up like a ball in chain
and set the sands ablaze

and the weight is waiting, oh
feel the world so real and strong

my dream girl don't exist
just a photograph in a history book
i believe she had a voice and name
three children on the coast of maine
her life was in a hurricane
of love and real embrace

my dream girl don't exist
at the age of five she slit her wrist
she didn't know that i'd be hanging 'round
so one day she took a stroll to town
and walked in front of a greyhound bound
for new york central state

and the weight is waiting, oh
feel the world so real and strong

and she goes and now she knows she'll never be afraid
