I learned a lot about dreaming in day school
You know the thing about dreaming in day school
Is that you gotta keep dreaming in day school
I learned a lot about dreaming in day school and then
The kids they knew what it was

Well I had a little slippi
And then I held it as a baby
And I wanna thank my mommy
For giving me a little slippi
Well I'm gonna raise a family
And I've gotta have a baby
I'm gonna have a little slippi
And say oh my little slippi little slippi

Keeps you aware of the changes and I live for fantasies
See my flow and make those changes with your eyes closed

I learned a lot about dreaming in day school!

And I'm shouting just denying
And the children better listen
That your heart is gonna riot
And you'll be shooting panacia
So don't you ever start your crying
Keep on shouting just denying
And your lives will make you crazy
Keep on shouting just denying just denying

So keep aware with the changes that I hide from Mr. (?)
She's my blue, she'll color wise old babies with their eyes closed

    General Comment:I love the way Avey screams. And I love how this song goes from so intense to just a mellow beat with panda bear singing in the background.

    General Comment:i felt my heart bubble over with joy reading these lyrics. thank you triangle man. i always smile ear to ear when i hear this song. my inaudible scream-along version was missing the first and last verse and now i can really scare anyone that overhears me while i'm riding around.
