Standing by the window 
watching a green star 
Thinking about the immediate future 
smoking a final cigar 

The autopilot is running the ship 
I turn off the light 
and go to bed for 27 years 
that will feel like one night 

Close my eyes 
Fall asleep 
Feeling strange 
Into the deep 

All of a sudden, we're under attack 
My daughter is aiming at me 
I wake up, jump into my car 
and watch a little TV 

Hold on a second, what's going on?! 
I don't have any kids or a wife! 
I was on a trip to another planet 
I don't recognize this life 

My first time 
In a cryo-bed 
No side-effects 
So they said 
Dream within a dream 
inside my head 
it's so extreme 
the things I've seen 
How could it be 
but a dream within a dream?
