lyrics

Oh Angeline, am I dreaming?
Or is this what my mental state fashioned?
Kiss me just once
Love the whack job that's me
While I tell you this morning what happened.
__________
A naked man with a dustbuster
and an attitude to boot
dropped dead on my porch
just before dawn
as I was dreaming 'bout you
before he passed he murmured
a message I'll never forget
he said, "don't ever let
your thoughts get the best
of your short time on earth unless
you want your life to consist of
a series of encounters with lists of
heartless attorneys, convicts and prom queens
then catered lunch with every loser you've met"
__________
Angeline, his words freed me
and tweaked the view flowing into my head
Angie, let's take the time
look into each other's eyes
and prove that no one's being misled
and then our life can consist of
one moment, this now, and the bliss of
two hearts entwined
suspended in time
as the naked man vacuums inside
__________
A naked man with a dustbuster
and the attitude to boot
dropped dead on my porch just before dawn
as I was dreaming 'bout you
before he passed he murmured
a message I'll never forget
he said, "don't ever let your thoughts get the best
of your short time on earth instead
lead with your heart and remember
all that you are will be measured
by the love that you give
by the love that you live
busting dust that drops from your head"
