(Nice Dream)

they love me like I was a brother
they protect me, listen to me
they dug me my very own garden
gave me sunshine, made me happy

nice dream, nice dream
nice dream

I call up my friend, the good angel
but she's out with her answerphone
she says that she'd love to come help but
the sea would electrocute us all

nice dream, nice dream
nice dream, nice dream
nice dream, nice dream
nice dream

if you think that you're strong enough
if you think you belong enough
if you think that you're strong enough
if you think you belong enough

nice dream, nice dream
nice dream, nice dream

Following his return to his basement flat in Oxford, one evening saw Yorke falling into "a sort of drunken coma and singing a song which became [Nice Dream]. That song refers to a story by Kurt Vonnegut where this crystal's been found that turns all water completely solid and someone drops it into the sea. If you want to kill yourself you just put your finger into the water."--2003 August Mojo
