Burst into heaven
Kissing the cotton clouds
Arctic sheets and fields of wheat
I can't stop coming down
Your shrunken head
Looking down on me above
Send me home like an elephant stone
To smash my dream of love
Dreaming till the sun goes down
And night turns into day
Rooms are empty I've got plenty
You could move in right away

It seems like there's a hole
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams

Down through the heavens
Choke on the cotton clouds
Arctic sheets and fields of wheat
I can't stop coming down
Your shrunken head
Looking down on me above
Send me home like an elephant stone
To smash my dream of love

Did your bed and bookshelf go
And run run run away
These four walls saw the rise and fall
And your midnight getaway
Seems like there's a hole
In my dreams
Or so it seems
Yet nothing means anything
Anymore

    Personally I think the song is about two people who are on the verge of a relationship, one more in love than the other.' Burst into heaven kiss in the cotton clouds' shows the sudden start and romance of the relationship. "Arctic sheets and fields of wheat I can't stop coming down" I find to be a reference to coke and weed and the good time the two are having (I know it's wheat but I've never came down from shreddies) Send me home like an elephant stone to smash my dream of love' is about one of the two, let's say him, send me to live happily ever after and well... have sex Dreaming til the sun goes down' and 'rooms are empty you could move in right away' I find the man being more eager than the girl. 'It seems like there's a hole in my dreams' clearly something's wrong and is the beginning of the end. 'Down through the heavens chock on the cotton clouds' the illusion of being in heaven has ended hard. ' arctic sheets and fields of wheat I can't stop coming down' I get the feeling whereas the first time this is said it's like a never ending high but this time I think it's more like a never ending come down. Didn't your bed and book shelf go and run run run away I think is a quote said by the girl, after she's taking more than she deserves( his bed and bookshelf). Then a thought from the man 'These four walls saw your rise and fall and your midnight getbaway' I think is about the rise and fall of the relationship and the getaway is getting over her. And Finally "seems like there's a hole in my dreams or so it seems yet there's nothing there that means anything anymore" shows there's a hole in this guy's dream of love and there's nothing in his heart or there between the two that means anything.

    But even if I'm completely wrong still a mint tune!
