Captured like an old black and white Raptured from all this plight I cling onto hemp rope ever so tight Wicked is the lonely in the night Longevity ain't what it used to be I'm still waiting for that scientific breakthrough: A pill to keep me young and not just to keep me up At night, the dream dancer awaits my curtsied bow Time waits for no one but me, you see Forever gazing into blue green, opalescent twilights that never end Through the ocean breeze I breathe and transcend As the Dream Master that I am
