Eighth track from the album Saint of the Open Opera (2010)

lyrics

DREAMBOAT
Nathan Brown and Ginnifer Brown, 2005

the last leaf has been blown down
and father’s gone to bed
the moon’s in her wedding gown
the groom’s already fled

rumors like tumors
Ophelia’s alive
her coffin’s an office
at a quarter ‘til five
drift through the rift on the dreamboat

Pinocchio said he lost you
he flirted with blue love
remember what it cost you
burned black as Smell the Glove

liars conspire
and Lincoln is weeping
the serpent’s conversant
through saltwater creeping
the thieves don’t believe in the dreamboat

in Amsterdam
dark canals reflect a fevered moon

moonbeams in June
seem like crepe paper streamers
at vespers, he gestures
at all sullen dreamers

and Voltaire (with sole care)
a gardener with great skill
his flowers he showers
with bloodlust and buzzkill
so clean and obscene is the dreamboat
