Kings to follow, child to teach
Fools to swallow, girl is fast asleep
Statue stare, place to reach
Watching Jeffrey fall asleep

Daddy hugs, dogs to walk
Books to lug, hands to talk
A fever in my naive brain
Not wanting things to be the same

Once I had a dream (once I had a dream)
Once I had a dream (once I had a dream)
I dreamt a dream in green, grass green

Roman noodle
Black-haired poodle
Hansel, Gretal, how we hate them
Funny, sunny, smart-ass honey
Different scary black-dyed hairy

Once I had a dream (once I had a dream)
Once I had a dream (once I had a dream)
I dreamt a dream in green, grass green

I'm addicted to your spirit, Raven
Forget the operas we sang
I'm warped in your personality
And I wonder if I'll see you on Letterman

Roman noodle
Black-haired poodle
Hansel, Gretal, how we hate them
Funny, sunny, smart-ass honey
Different scary black-dyed hairy
My friend Raven
My friend Raven

I'm obsessed with your addictions, Raven
Forget the Mardi Gras we drank
I understand you were saying
You're afraid of the second coming

But fear of flying, you're denying Raven
Fear of flying, you're denying Raven
Fear of flying, you're denying Raven
