From the recording The Handsome Years
Lyrics
Last night I drifted off with the tv on
blue light flickered from channel 31
A delta breeze came sifting through my room
a silver cloud sailed across the moon
a silhouette appeared against the drapes
I pulled the covers up over my face
Last night I dreamed I saw Ayn Rand
crawling through my window with a shark knife in her hand
She pointed at my Teddy Bear and said "that's got to go"
she was smoking Lucky Strikes
she glared through a nicotine glow
she said "Me and Billy Sunday played a dice game for your soul
"I won, you lose, get dressed it's time to roll"
she filled my trunk with Pabst Blue Ribbon and rum
she whispered to me "let's have some fun"
Last night I dreamed I saw Ayn Rand
crawling through my window with a shark knife in her hand
She took me to a party at a warehouse by the docks
inside senators were dancing and drinking shots
there was a lobbyist with caviar dripping from his chin
in the back of a red white and blue Mercedes Benz
The Wall Street bull was dancing with a fox
Milton Friedman mud wrestled John Locke
Last night I dreamed I saw Ayn Rand
coming through my window with a shark knife in her hand
Now my high school education hasn't served me well
I was lost on either side of the recess bell
but I know there are some things we should avoid
and the tea they served at that party made me paranoid
Last night I dreamed I saw Ayn Rand
coming through my window with a shark knife in her hand
Last night I dreamed I saw Ayn Rand
coming through my window with a shark knife in her hand
