[Verse 1]
Another radical dream
Becomes a long lost friend
Beneath the rhythm and sound
Lies a another meaning
And if you ask me today
To say just what I'm thinking
You might flee my reply
And run it upwards and run downwards

[Chorus]
It was so sublime
It was so sublime
It was so sublime
It was so-so-so-ba-ba-ba-lime

[Verse 2]
This entangled up dream
Still plays on illusion
Trying hard to escape
More jangled delusion
And if you ask me today
And you ponder life
It's not just what you think
It grows outward and it holds you
[Chorus]
It's so sublime
It's so sublime
It was so sublime
It was so-so-so-ba-ba-ba-lime

[Verse 3]
This American dream
Becomes elusive
If you're ready or not
It may reach out and grab you
And if you ask me today
And you wonder why
You might flee its reply
And run it upwards and run downwords

[Outro]
It was so sublime
It was so sublime
It was so sublime
It was so-so-so-ba-ba-ba-lime
