40 Day Dream Lyrics
I've been sleeping for forty days and
Yeah, I know that I'm sleeping cause this dream's too amazing
She got gold doorknobs where her eyes used to be, yeah
One turn and I learned what it really means to see, yeah
It's the magical mystery kind
Must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oooooh I could die
Oooooh now, I could die
Now I've been sleeping for sixty days and
Nobody better pinch me
Bitch I swear, go crazy
She got jumper cable lips
She got sunset on her breath
I inhaled just a little bit
Now I got no fear of death
It's the magical mystery kind
Must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oooooh I could die
Oooooh now, I could die
It's the magical mystery kind
Must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oooooh I could die
Oooooh now, I could die
Yeah, I know that I'm sleeping cause this dream's too amazing
She got gold doorknobs where her eyes used to be, yeah
One turn and I learned what it really means to see, yeah
Must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oooooh I could die
Oooooh now, I could die
Nobody better pinch me
Bitch I swear, go crazy
She got jumper cable lips
She got sunset on her breath
I inhaled just a little bit
Now I got no fear of death
Must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oooooh I could die
Oooooh now, I could die
Must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oooooh I could die
Oooooh now, I could die

acid?! jesus. this is one of the more straightforward songs out there
It's the magical mystery kind Must be a lie Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
He is in love and thinks its too good to be true, like he's been dreaming this whole time. And if anyone pinches him, bitch, he'll go crazy
THANK YOU. Jeez.
THANK YOU. Jeez.
I know, everyone sees "inhales" or some sort of symbolism like the doorknobs and automatically thinks it has to be about drugs. Apparently 99% of all songs are about drugs, based on the comments I've seen. I think you're interpretation's right

My friend was telling me that she thinks the song is about a guy in a coma that falls in love with the literal girl of his dreams. He has the choice to wake up and return to life or stay there with her forever and die...I'm in love with this song, by the way. c:
this is my favorite song right now! i love alex's voice, reminds me a little of marc bolan's voice.<3
Love it! There's a part in the song ("Bitch, I swear") that reminds me of the part when Bowie sings the words "Marlon Brando" in China Girl. It's that same soft, high pitched, breathy way of singing.
"bitch I swear" is totally the best line of the song, love that shit he does with his voice... Is reminiscent of Bowie.

You're so right! No wonder I'm drawn to this song.

love the clapping. also amazing live.
so good.
so glad to have Alex back in my ears after the untimely demise of Ima Robot...
Oh man. this song is about when you meet someone who breaks all of your preconceived notions of love. you don't understand how its happened, but you know you'll never be the same afterwards. and what's even better is that you don't want to.
This song is wonderful. I love the meaning. I'm surprised that there are only two comments...
amazing amazing amazing. catchy and feel good! also, i love to listen to it when i'm happy as well as down, it goes both ways.
I'm pretty sure the lyrics are
"It ain't no lie" instead of "must be a lie"
