lyrics

I Dreamed I Stopped Smoking

I dreamed I stopped smoking and my head stopped hurting
Kicked drugs, quit drinking; Christ! I even started working
And I realised I wasn’t having any fun
So I lit up a smoke and my head hurt
Did some drugs, got drunk and quit work
And I started right back to where I started from

Well I dreamed that you won the lottery
So you went out and bought a pot farm for me,
Said “I love you baby, let’s go smoke it all”
Well I dreamed I was a happy little bumblebee
I was buzzing in your bonnet ‘til you swatted me
And preserved me with your jars of alcohol

Well I dreamed you were driving a UFO
You abducted me baby ‘cause you loved me so
You said “fly with me, back home beyond the blue”
First we stopped to get some money at the money tree
And you said you couldn’t wait to get your hands on me
Yeah, I’ll follow the flying pigs back home to you.
