This song is about a dream I had in Portland wherein I took place in a vengeance killing. Upon waking, I discussed it with a friend and then drove erratically to Mount St. Helen's while listening to Alien Lanes
lyrics
I had a wicked dream - mmmmmm
Where I done a wicked thing - mmmmmm
He didn't see it coming
He didn't see it coming
Heads rollin' on the floor
mmmmmmm
There was a white picket fence - mmmmmm
Got to shape-shiftin' - mmmmmm
I lost all control
It took over me
and I didn't see it coming
mmmmmmm
Get me to the volcano
Gotta get there before the sun goes down
Through fog patches and twisted roads
I paid for this car, I'm gonna drive it
into the ground
mmmmmmm
I talked to my friend - mmmmmm
He had the same dream, too - mmmmmm
Must have been somethin' in the water
I took a drink
mmmmmmm
Get me to the volcano
Gotta get there before the sun goes down
I'm guided by voices through twisted roads
I paid for this car, I'm gonna drive it
into the ground
or till my head's rollin on the floor
