| accidental play of the week – three |

in my dreams / i see myself hitting a baseball / in a green field somewhere near a freeway / i’m all tan and smiling and running from third base / and it’s hot / and the kids keep playing the driving game / and they’re singing the same goddamn refrain / and the sky is a blueish gray / and it’s become just like a chemical stress / tracing the lines in my face for / something more beautiful than is there / i’ve barely been gone / in my dreams / i see you at the foot of some mountains / and we’re taking some pictures or something / and we’d better hurry up / and it’s late / and the sun keeps on shooting through pine trees / and the grass stains are wet on your new jeans / and we’d better hurry up / and i’ve become just like a terrible mess / searching the lines in my face for / something more beautiful than is there / the crowds keep me coming back / cheering
in my dreams / i see you asleep on a twin bed / the covers pulled up over your head / am I asleep or awake?  / and it’s morning / and the captain is playing the radio / and he’s just put the paint on his new boat / am i asleep or awake? / and it just feels good when you’re waking up / and it just feels good when you’re next to me / and it just feels good when you’re coming home / and it just feels good when you’re waking up / and i’ve become just like a chemical stress / tracing the lines of my face for / something more beautiful than is there / i’ve barely been gone
/ and i’m not a failure, i swear / i wish you could see it from over there / i’ve got a lot over here without you / i’ve barely been gone / gone dreaming

“my slumbering heart” ist der dritte song aus der offjournal-reihe “accidental play of the week – die musikalische halbe stunde reise nach jerusalem, bei der der song gewinnt, der im ohr stehenbleibt.”
