Riding Shotgun to an Electron

From the Lifesmith Group album, "Trifling."

I had a dream just the other night
I kept asking myself, "Do you feel alright? "
The things that happened there -- crazy so it seemed
And I really don't know what I seen
I'm trying to remember what I seen

Riding on my wife on the crest of a wave
It seemed like a perfectly normal way to behave
Crashing to the beach and right into bed
Was it all really in my head
Was it all made up in my head

Riding shotgun to a critical mass
Flying electron uranium blast
Falling over Japan nineteen forty-five
How much longer will I be alive
Can it be that I am still alive

Riding on a dolphin's back to the depths of fair Atlantis
Uncovering discovering ancient scientific practice
A culture that evolved long pre-Byzantine
Could it have really been a dream
Could it all really be a dream

Riding on a spherical wave of immeasurable proportion
Forty light years wide electromagnetic radiation
Neutrinos and photons flying by my side
Isn't life just one big sky ride
When will the other life cease to hide

Riding on the hot line from Washington to Moscow
Those missiles that you're sending, we really can't allow
I guess it'll have to be a war in the end
And all I've left is this dream to defend
Hoping that this dream is just a dream in the end
Hoping that this dream is just a dream.
