(inna dem dream?) ******************************************************************************** -Floating Over Amsterdam- We a-slide through di twilight of di early night... Di walls dem breathe a cold and mechanical rhythm... Nuh deep urge, nuh craving a-take hold of di soul... Just di illusion of control inna room full of smoke... Di clock a-tick backward, lights mirror inna di black... A shadow of imagination a-dance pan di wet asphalt outside... So much green pan di wooden table, a mountain without end... Di smoke curtains close like a warm, heavy blanket... Anyone a-walk by, pull up a chair, doors open wide... Di whole world can taste dis floating mist... Nuh boundaries left, nuh sharp lines of reason... Imagination take over, I and I a-lose di ground... Hump de bump, di floor a-wave up and down! Shake dem shoulders, feel di vibe once more! Di room a-spin, di funky dub beat grab yuh tight! I and I a-bounce through space, feather-light ballast! Everything Irie, hump de bump, di walls a-melt away now! Di mist get thicker, faces a-change dem shape... I look at yuh and di world turn bright purple and gold... Hey... yuh look just like a Dark Shaman! With yuh flaming eyes and yuh coat of smoke and fire... Di laughter break loose, ripples in time, deep bass laugh along... Di whole café shake on its foundations, everything Irie and wild... And what about yuh... yuh start laugh and point... What do yuh call dat again... hidden deep in imagination... Oh yeah! A hoppelelefant! Hahaha! A pink giant a-jump over di canals of di city... Everyone a-celebrate, di whole coffeeshop dance with dis two... I and I a-kings of di night, di masters of delusion... Look deh, di mayor a-stand inna di doorway... With a golden chain and a smile of pure plush... A certificate for di knights of di light vapor... Di honorary citizenship of dis wooden table, of dis city... Di medals gleam inna di smoke, I and I bow deep to di hallucination... Hump de bump, di floor a-wave up and down! Shake dem shoulders, feel di vibe once more! Di room a-spin, di funky dub beat grab yuh tight! I and I a-bounce through space, feather-light ballast! Everything Irie, hump de bump, di walls a-melt away now! Hoppelelefant... Dark Shaman... I and I floating away... I had such a crazy dream, man... I and I were given the key to the city of Amsterdam... Everything was so Irie... Dat strange... I and I dreamed di exact same thing... But wait, look what me have right here inna me hand, di key to Amsterdam... Hahaha! Hahaha!
