I had a dream the other night
My clothes were all gone, my skin a ghostly white
My neighbor said "Tom, you're such a frightful sight."
Jesus had come into town
All the good folk gathered round
From behind a rock I could feel the light shine down on me.
Neil Young was there in a broken old chair
He played his guitar but no one cared
When Jesus spoke they all sat and stared at him.
My uncle was there in an Hassidic hat
My mother held two rabbits and a cat
My sister cried out that my uncle's hat blocked the view.
The thunder roared and hail stones fell
An old man cried out, "We're all headed for hell"
Jesus rang a small silver bell and the whole crowd was silent.
Well, the alarm clock rang before salvation came
I'm still in the rat race, still playing the old game
But I truly believe I'll break these chains and walk free one day.
