Dreams Of Ordinary Men

There is an essence in the water

There is a spirit in the sky

There is a spider drawing webs

To crucify a fly

The fly is drawing nearer

Just as if he knew

How we all must fit the pattern

How the pattern must fit you

Everybody say amen

These are the dreams of ordinary men

This is the world that we'll be living in

Out of the dreams of ordinary men

I mistook all your intentions

But you never did deceive

I have a helpless fascination

For the web you wove for me

We had nightly public beatings

But we slept in private hells

And I feel no guilt or vengeance

We just couldn't help ourselves

So what's the answer I have to find

To change my world like I change my mind

And change my life

If I could only change my dreams
