This one's about a dream I had last night

How an old man tracked me home and stepped inside

He put his foot inside the door and gave a crooked smile

Something in his eyes something in his laugh

Something in his voice that made my skin crawl off

He said I've seen you here before I know your name

You could have your pick of pretty things

You could have it all everything at once

Everything you've seen everything you'll need

everything you've ever had in fantasies

~INTERLUDE~

You've one life you've one life you've one life left to lead

You've one life you've one life you've one life left to lead

~VERSE 2~

I woke up from my dream as a golden man

With a girl I've never seen with golden skin

I jumped up to my feet she asked me what was wrong

I began to scream I don't think this is me

Is this just a dream or really happening

~REPEAT INTERLUDE~

~CHORUS~

What direction what direction

What direction what direction

I'm splitting up I'm splitting up

This is my personal disaffection

What direction what direction what direction now

~VERSE 3~

I looked outside the glass at golden shores

Golden ships and masts with golden cords

As my refection passed I hated what I saw

My golden eyes were dead and a thought passed through my head

A heart that is made of gold can't really beat at all

~BRIDGE~

I wanted to wake up again

I wanted to wake up again

Without a touch of gold

Without a touch of gold

~CHORUS 2~

G5 P.M

What direction what direction

What direction what direction

Death or action

Life begins at the intersection

What direction what direction what direction now

~VERSE 4~

I woke up as before but the gold was gone

My wife was at the door with her night robe on

My heart beat once or twice and life flooded my veins

Everything had changed my lungs had found their voice

And what was once routine was now the perfect joy

~OUTRO~

You've one life you've one life one life left to lead

You've one life you've one life one life left to lead

Peace, Love, I'm out.
