Pete Townshend: Early Morning Dreams

You are safe from harm on the grid
You are safe from harm

This is the dream that I wake up dreaming
Lovin' my lover from the dawn pink skies
A perfect design that I wake up scheming
What I recall when I first open my eyes

'''ATHENA:'''
''You will receive life programs that precisely suit your needs and desires. Our planet is challenged. Decent people need to be protected. So, enjoy the present while we hope for the future. Slip on to the Life Experience Grid today.''

This is the tune that you're always hearing
What you'll remember when you've broken the ties
We're dancing together as the sun is appearing
Again and again you awake in surprise

'''MAN:'''
''Phew. That was some life. I wanted it to go on forever.''

'''WOMAN:'''
''Me too. I enjoyed it.''

'''MAN:'''
''Yes. And in the next program we'll get the balance we need to continue our evolution.''

Early morning dreams

'''SPINNER:'''
''Athena controls newspapers, TV stations, and all media, including the Grid. You're all consumers. And I believe you need truth to develop morality and decency. The Grid always provides facts, but facts don't always reveal the truth.''

You feel so tender, you feel so wet
You feel so secure so deep in love and yet
The feeling is fleeting, you're a fugitive, safe at last
Your heart is beating, will you relive the recent past?

Early morning dreams come true
I've proved it now that I'm here with you
You are here by my side, I'm siding with you
Early morning dreams come true

'''RAY:'''
''Dear Rosalind. Thank you for your letter. It seems really odd that you've written to me at this moment. I need someone to talk to now more than ever. Your dream sounds wonderful. You want to be a star? It could happen. I'm working on a dream project myself, It's something I've been involved with for years. When I saw the stunning photo in your letter, I was reminded of the things I had to go through to get noticed when I was your age. We both share complicated problems. If I try to help you, will you swear to keep it secret? Yours sincerely, Ray High.''

'''RAY:'''
''She'll find out what being a star really feels like.''

Early morning dreams come true

'''RAY:'''
''She sent me a Polaroid of herself.''

'''RASTUS:'''
''What? That Rosalind?''

'''RAY:'''
''Yeah. On her mother's grave.''

'''RASTUS:'''
''Ha ha ha.''

'''RAY:'''
''It wasn't meant to be funny. It was erotic.''

'''RASTUS:'''
''What, you thought a photo of a girl lying on her mother's grave was erotic?''

'''RAY:'''
''Well, she was naked. Stark fucking naked.''

'''RASTUS:'''
''Well, was she gorgeous or what?''

'''RAY:'''
''Yeah. But the weird thing was she had witch's teats.''

'''RASTUS:'''
''Witch's whats?''

'''RAY:'''
''Witch's teats. Two little extra nipples below her tits.''

'''RASTUS:'''
''Only four nipples? Poor underprivileged kid.''

'''RAY:'''
''She says, she says she can sing and dance. She's dancing topless now in San Francisco.''

'''RASTUS:'''
''With four nipples I could get a double fee.''
