Lyrics:

I woke up in a mansion, where I'd never been before
Wrapped in satin sheets, lying on marble floor
I asked the man on a unicorn, who appeared from beneath the bed
If he knew what was going on and this is what he said

Chorus
Someone somewhere went to sleep and dreamed us both alive
Dreams get pushed around a lot and I doubt if we'll survive
We won't get to wake up, dreams were born to disappear
And I'm sure that neither one of us is here

I pulled myself together and I tied myself up tight
And I walked around and around the room, when I came to the middle of the night
And there in the middle sat a calico cat, on the sheets from the verse before
And this is what she told me, as she bolted for the door

Chorus
Someone somewhere went to sleep and dreamed us both alive
Dreams get pushed around a lot and I doubt if we'll survive
We won't get to wake up, dreams were born to disappear
And I'm sure that neither one of us is here

I snuggled in my satin sheets and flew straight for the hall
When I saw the cat had bolted the door, I lifted up the wall
And just outside the mansion gates, all the answers I'd been seeking
Took the form of a terrible storm and chased me back to my sleeping

Don't you see?

Chorus
Someone somewhere went to sleep and dreamed us all alive
Dreams get pushed around a lot and I doubt if we'll survive
We won't get to wake up, dreams were born to disappear
And I'm pretty sure that none of us - are here.
