lyrics

She has a dream and she has the same dream.
She says moon and she says moon and both put their she-phones to their chests.
She says in my dream I slept between your mattress and box spring
and she nods and she hears her nod.
She says I was in the blue dress before you put in on
and after you put it on, like a soft paper flower she says
and she says yes, like a soft paper flower.
She nestles the phone in her crotch and she nestles the phone in her crotch and the
pubic hairs say it was warm in the dream.
She puts her face against the cool window and they play where's my face and she
guesses against the cool window.
She says I hung up the phone an hour ago and
she says I hung up the phone last year and still we go
on talking she says and she says we go
on talking even while I am dead
and even when I'm coming back to life.
She is two places at once and she is two places at once
which is four places at once.
She has to go back to sleep now and she has to go back to sleep now.
She says are you asleep now and she says yes and are you asleep now
and she says yes and they go on
talking about being asleep now.
She has a dream and she has the same dream and in the dream
she is dreaming what she dreams and she is dreaming what she dreams.
Then it rains.
