Irreversible Neural Damage - Lyrics by Kevin Ayers


Lyrics

If you wear this silver bonnet
I will sew my heart upon it
For this bonnet makes you seem
Like someone i met in a dream, a dream

I won't wear your silver bonnet
Not unless some gold's put on it
You can take your dreams back home
I have plenty of my own, my own

Tell me something distant sister
If i found my dream and kissed her
Would this vision of perfection
Turn into my own reflection

Who or what i am escapes me
Every changing minute shapes me
What i get is what i yearn for
Dreams are what i gladly burn for

In her cradle we have rocked her
Tended by the dreaming doctor
Now she waits in sleeping beauty
For some prince to do his duty
