Four Dreams Songtext

von Jesca Hoop

Come and bring your stereo
Come and bring your stereo
And lay down on my pillow
Down into a dream we go
Down into a dream we go
You never know where we go

Under the shading of a willow tree
Sam and I awoke where we were once sleeping
The bed that we lay upon was camomile
Now It smells like bubble gum for real
Skunk and owl and doe
Gather 'round my radio

Then with a resonance that split the earth
The skunk cried a call like one I've never heard
And from the crevasse a cuckoo clock emerged
And from it a little wooden bird
He spread apart its beak
And time began to speak

I'll gift you one two three
Songs as old as me

Come and bring your stereo
Come and bring your stereo
And lay down on a pillow
Down into a dream we go
Down into a dream we go
Never know where we go

Climbing a statue that stands fifty feet
The cast of a woman that looks just like me
To find that my character was caught completely
Cemented from head down to my feet
A bee flew from my nose
He said come and bring your stereo

Down to my throat to what seemed like my teeth
The bee tuned the stereo to bump a beat
And he began a-buzzing in the key of B
All to instigate the crumbling of concrete
The mask fell from my skin
Left me younger than I've ever been

I'll gift you one two three
Youth eternally

Etta, my sweet little Loretta
I love when you put the warm milk and honey in my bowl
Get up, now don't you go and get up
I'm gonna show you how I love my jelly roll

Oh how I love my Johnny boy
And if you ever leave me baby I'll be destroyed
Let's make a baby, Johnny boy
Right here in this living room
And we'll call it June

Come and bring your stereo
Come and bring your stereo
And lay down on a pillow
Down into a dream we go
Down into a dream we go
You never know where we go

One summer evening at a block party
The juice from the ghetto blaster was failing
So we hijacked electrical piracy
Because nobody had a battery
And the gods of rock 'n' roll
Hypnotised my stereo

I'll gift you one two three
Ad Rock, MCA, Mike D

Come and bring your stereo
Come and bring your stereo
And lay down on a pillow
Down into a dream we go
Down into a dream we go
And never know where we go

Tell me bring your stereo
Tell me bring your stereo
And lay down on my pillow
Down into a dream we go
Down into a dream we go
You never know where we go
