Jesse Scobie's Dream

Jesse Scobie’s Dream

Chords: Emaj Amaj Dmaj

Well last night I had a very strange dream
Some parts were good, some parts were mean
Some made no sense, others were obscene
And nothing was what it seemed

It all started when I was riding on a train
I was heading for Paris then biking to Spain
I saw two old men one of them had a cane
He was speaking in tongue he must have been insane

So I left them there and went down on Abbey road
To see how many records the Beatles really sold
I saw John and Paul they said they were cold
I noticed it was snowing or so I was told

So I said “Hop inside my car, in here it’s nice and warm”
And we drove real fast from the mighty storm
we bumped into Elvis he was watching cable porn
he and Jesus were fighting to see which one was really reborn
(harmonica solo)

Then someone hit me on the head with a baseball bat
I woke up the next morning in someone else’s flat
I saw Jimi Hendrix playing with some old cats
I saw people making love inside an old gray hat

So I ran out of there as fast as I could
An old lady asked me for a donation I said that I would
I only had five dollars she said that was good
Then I got lost in the city and ended up in the hood

I saw Stevie Wonder playing on a garbage can
Now why he was doing that I couldn’t understand
He was playing with Louie Armstrong who said he was a fan
They were looking for new cats to from a funk rock band
(harmonica solo)

Then I walked down the alley and saw Richard Pryor
He was running real fast his hair was on fire
He ran into the street got hit by a car with a flat tire
He was so high on coke I doubt he could get any higher

Then I went into a house shaped like a broom
Abe Lincoln and Albus Dumbledore were in the living room
They were playing Halo 3 while smoking red balloons
I said I better wake up from this dream real soon

I looked to my right and saw the Dalai Lama
He was walking down the road with Barack Obama
They were singing folk tunes while living out their dharma
And Britney Spears was crying I want my momma

Then some hippie said to me “Here take this pill”
She said it would make me happy instead it made me ill
So I ran after her up a big hill
But I lost her at the top and found a wind mill

I went inside and found Gandhi and Einstein
They were watching American idol, which should be a crime
They asked me if later on I wanted to dine
I said “No thanks but maybe next time”

Outside I found a river and a canoe
I went right in I didn’t know what to do
Before you know I sunk right through
And woke up from my dream feeling brand new
