When the deep blue night is running close on your track 
And you can feel the green monkey crawlin' across your back 
Don't take me so real that you forget how to feel 
Don't let the threat of the dagger turn your heart into steel 
Smell the perfume of the silent dream 
Fly the ocean, read a story to me 
Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree 
Speak to me 
So you think that star cluster shining bright in the sky 
Will speak the fate of your evening, tell the truth to your lie 
Don't let the features you read control the tickets you buy 
Soon as you learn that you live, you're just beginning to die 
Smell the perfume of the silent dream 
Fly the ocean, read a story to me 
Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree 
Speak to me 
Smell the perfume of the silent dream 
Fly the ocean, read a story to me 
Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree 
Speak to me
