Hung Up on a Dream

Well I remember yesterday

Just drifting slowly through a crowded street

With neon darkness shimmering through the haze

A sea of faces rippling in the heat

And from that nameless changing crowd

A sweet vibration seemed to fill the air

I stood astounded, staring hard

At men with flowers resting in their hair

A sweet confusion filled my mind

Until I woke up only finding

Everything was just a dream

A dream unusual of its kind

That gave me peace and blew my mind

And now I'm hung up on a dream

They spoke with soft persuading words

About a living creed of gentle love

And turned me on to sounds unheard

And showed me strangest clouded sights above

Which gently touched my aching mind

And soothed the wonderings of my troubled brain

Sometimes I think I'll never find

Such purity and peace of mind again
