This wavy single from Canadian singer-songwriter River Tiber preceded his debut album Indigo. The song pairs River Tiber’s use of pulsating synths with a crashing drum pattern that heightens the track’s main theme: the effects an acid trip.
In the mid-1960s, “acid-test” was a phrase used to describ...
[Intro]
"The Bible says there's gonna be monsters, these last days, walking after the lust of the flesh and the, the, the lust of the flesh and lust of the eyes"
[Verse 1]
From the dead she rose
Like a voodoo child
With a mourning smile
In a dream I woke
Into stars I float
Into wings I grow
Heaven stay so close (Stay so close)
Heaven stay so close
Visions out of gold
Cloud kaleidoscopes
In a dream I woke
In a dream I woke
I got carried high
In her arms I float
In a dream I woke
In a dream I woke
[Chorus]
I cannot show you the way
No I cannot show you the way
We are on different planes
I cannot show you the way
So if I float away, so if I float away
(Don’t stay waiting on me)
[Post-Chorus]
We'll all be in the same dream
(Oh, the same dream)
All the colors glowing (Ooh)
(One day) We'll all be in the same dream
(Oh, the same dream)
Endlessly beginning
[Verse 2]
From the dead he rose
Like a radiant child
In the New York wild
In a dream I woke
Clouded minds stay closed
On her words I hold
But I'm a rolling stone
I'm a rolling stone
[Chorus]
I cannot show you the way
I cannot show you the way
We are on different planes
I cannot show you the way
So if I float away, so if I float away
(Don’t stay waiting on me)
[Break]
[Post-Chorus]
(One day) We'll all be in the same dream
All the colours glowing
(One day) We'll all be in the same dream
Knowing what the words mean
(One day) We'll all be in the same dream
We'll all be in the same dream
Endlessly beginning
