Attic Dreamer
Backstory
Attic Dreamer - inspired by the receptionist at an Audio/Visual office where I worked (see the companion song (I Love) The Office). She was sweet but a complete air-head & didn't have a clue about deeper realities. She would ditz around & complain about trivia & act as if she had no choice in any of it. She dressed like all good receptionists & came to work each day in a mindless haze. She earned good money, was probably paying off a nice house & she played all the right games but she was inherently lost & unhappy & just didn't get it.
Lyrics
I looked around You were being stupid again Head in the ground Cobwebs through your brain. You leave yourself open Just like an all-night cafe Well, baby here's hoping Your dreams don't fade away. I know there's so many ways It's easy to be confused But don't walk around in a daze Just claiming your senses have fused. Attic dreamer Put yourself into gear Some time schemer Prove to them that you have no fear (You have no fear). Lost in the crowd Looking like everyone else Head in the clouds Not feeling what's being felt. Completely detached From all cause and effect Your itch has been scratched But you still fail to connect. I know there's so many games It's easy to be confused But that doesn't alter the blame Just claiming you've only been used. Attic dreamer Put yourself into gear Some time schemer Prove to them that you have no fear (You have no fear). The choice is yours You are responsible Try opening doors Any-thing's possible. Attic dreamer Put yourself into gear Some time schemer Prove to them that you have no fear (You have no fear).
