Lyrics
Chased a crystal rabbit all the way down Wiltern
Caught up and caught air reaching to grab for it
Fell off a cliff, turned out to be the whole wide world
Landed in a garden bed full of hydrangeas
Suddenly in love with an alien-eyed stranger
Didn't have a choice, he showed me my own beating heart
Between a gavel and a block
Someone wake me up
Strange dreams
Strange dreams
Strange dreams
Strange dreams
In a bikini and boots waiting for the valet
It started raining money, didn't fix a damn thing
Starship hovered and love left my third eye strained
I wound up at home in my own bathtub
The candle had two flames, and spelled the word disaster
Roy Orbison was singing Only The Lonely and Crying
Over you
Someone wake me up
Trying to wake up
Strange dreams
Strange dreams
Strange dreams
Strange dreams
Strange dreams, strange dreams
Strange dreams, strange dreams
Strange dreams, strange dreams
Strange dreams, strange dreams
Up to my neck, the sea glittered around me
A mermaid read my tarot, said it's all ending
Everything turned to ash and blew away with a breath
There were flares of shellfire and snakes in the tide
If I was okay, was for the courts to decide
My hair was wet and I was paralyzed
Someone wake me up
Trying to wake up
From strange dreams
Strange dreams
Strange dreams
Strange dreams
Strange dreams, strange dreams
Strange dreams, strange dreams
Strange dreams, strange dreams
Strange dreams
Strange dreams
Strange dreams
Strange dreams
