----------- I meet people I've only seen in dreams They make me happy -- then sad Do you know what this means I go to places that I recognize But the time's never tight She says that it's all lies I have adventures that don't compute I talk to friends and leave their homes In such disrepute Saying everything has a cause Everything has a root and I'm gathering proof And I want to know what's happening in my life I need some explanation Could there be a joker in this slow game Playing for what's mine Cheating all the time -- If you are the joker in this slow game Well, who do you want to win?
