lyrics

Last night I had a very funky dream
I dreamt I was overseas
with my father
my mother
my sister
she and I were fighting
we would not walk together

we crossed a bridge
there was a body
and police surrounding the body
they ushered us to safety
in the stairwell of a parking ramp

they were negotiating a hostage deal
with the kidnappers who killed the body
and my sister and I were about
my mother and father
who are in actuality divorced
and never talk to one another

The kidnapper demanded
that a child be exchanged
for the child it was holding
now there was a woman in the stairwell
she had a child
and I realized she wanted to exchange
my sister for her child

but instead
my family united
presented the kidnapper
with a small child
the kidnapper
spoke in a woman's voice
and was embodied in a casserole dish
filled with Spaghetti
and the child we surrendered
was a small tupperware container
overflowing with yellow lentils

and the kidnapper said
this child must have religion
and I said oh yes
this child has religion

and I placed the tupperware container
which was actually the devil
and had been a curse on my family
because it would not stop overflowing
I placed the devil on the
Spaghetti kidnapper

it was a very funky dream
you would not believe
how everything seemed
very funky dream
