Addiction

I had a thought
Didn’t find it from the ground
I’ve gotta, gotta write it down
Urgency most profound

Do you know where it’s found?
Do you know where I got it from?

The thoughts came from my head,
Got it from my head
From my head

I had a dream
That I was running wild and fast
Down by the meadows
Weeks slipping past
Way past the shadows

Dreams came from my head,
Got it from my head
From my head

I found snakes slithering, swords afencing
Pretty rainbows, my own pot of gold
Private seductions, ignored instructions
Passions uninvited

All from my head
Got it from my head
From my head
