Bad Dreams Are Only Dreams

Jet lag, I can't quite grab the new me

Old self dozing in an aisle seat

Emirates, where I left him, daydreams treacherous ephemera

Brain exposed to the elements, lift my skull top off delicate

Bone china chafing dish

Absent-minded, break time like bricks, thoughts is cinder blocks

Alarm clocks break spells

Crashed out, search for my own black box in the hills

Scorched earth scoured like cook pots, mangled wheels, strewn debris

Hours in a wristwatch, bust down, dancing in the piece

Private dancers dance for me

King's ransoms, it ain't no rides that's free

Half 'sleep with the halo, dead on my feet
