| Lyrics: This is, uh Based on some music that I heard in a dream That I saw in a dream Called, it's going to be called "you and I", ouch! 'Cause it's what the people in the dream were saying You and I, you and I, you and I All for you It's like that, I heard the people singing that in a dream Yeah, and it was a dream where I was in an auditorium at a college And everybody was congregated and singing the same words And there was this, y'know a bunch of This band on stage and they were like, y'know, sorta spacey Deadhead band With teen- y'know, like, guys in their twenties, like a bunch of grunge guys but Kinda playing this, this, other thing, not like what I'm playing here on guitar And the people kept on beating out, uh Rhythms on drumsticks This really great rhythm, it was in like, 7/4, this really cool space jam And what it was, it was a song I dreamed that this song was about, uh, about this guy, uh Or, y'know, the person in the song is singing to his lover Supposedly That uh, y'know, he's completely theirs The lover has forbidden anybody to have contact with him The lover has taken away his freedom, taken away his days and nights Taken away his, y'know, his dreams Uh, sent away his friends Forbidden him to, y'know, get close to his parents, all that stuff And what it was, it was an AIDS rally And that song was about AIDS Or about something like that So every time the refrain came around The people would say "you and I, you and I, you and I" And they point to the sign that said, y'know, like, it said AIDS with a circle with a slash through it And they go "all for you" They go like, point to the sign, so that was the dream I woke up with it 'Kay? Anyway, as long as you got that on tape, I'll remember that | Notes: |
