Vendela Vida

I got Vendela Vida
 You got Boris in tow
 She only comes when I read her
 You only come when I go
 I got a past and a future
 You're working on your present tense
 And while I examined the sutures
 You were mending your fence
 And I have got the cross to bear for your confusion
 Dreamers always end up back in Chinatown
 And if you really, really, really are connected to the things that you believe
 Well, to finally write your story is to let a thousand other stories bleed
 And if you go, well you know, you got nothing to hold on to, but wait, it gets worse
 It's a gift, it's a curse
 And the life we envision
 That ain't life, so it seems
 And I could make a decision
 If I could just forget all my dreams
 You got Vendela Vida, baby
 I got Boris in tow
 And she only comes when I read her
 But at least she comes back when she goes
 And I have got the cross to bear for your confusion
 Dreamers always end up back in Chinatown
 And if you really, really, really are connected to the things that you believe
 Well, to finally write your story is to let a thousand other stories bleed
 And if you go, well you know, you got nothing to hold on to, but wait, it gets worse
 It's a gift, it's a curse
 We can't find any peace when we sleep
 We try, but as soon as we're down and we close our eyes, we cannot help itâ
