Only A Dream Lyrics by Phish

Party Time

2009

[Verse 1:}
Last night laying in bed
I woke up from something you said
You spoke to me in a foreign tongue
It wasn’t your voice so I started to run
A spiral staircase swallowed me
And spit me out in the woods by a tree
I felt the bark for a passage out
I froze in panic ’til I figured it out

[Chorus:]
It’s only a dream[x2]
It’s not what it seems
It’s only a dream

[Verse 2:]
You faded up from black and pushed me aside
I was blocking your view of a circular sky
I could tell by your hand shaking in fear
That my worries were real; the devil was near
Back in real life I had shaken your trust
The devil enticed me to trade it for lust
You walked the high wire on the light of a beam
You screamed and I realized the devil was me

[Chorus:]
It’s only a dream[x2]
And I can change the scene
It’s only a dream[x2

[Verse 3:]]
And it’s lucid
It’s only a dream
It’s a lucid dream
Up the beam I follow your shout
An egg cracked open and the sun came out
I spoke my remorse for all I had done
You aimed at my eyes and shot me the sun
You faded out and I was all alone
In a train station laying on a bench of stone
I heard the train coming but it never appeared
‘Til it fell from the sky, confirming my fear

[Chorus:]
That it’s only a dream
It’s only a dream
It’s not what it seems
It’s only a dream[x3]
In orange and green
It’s only a dream
