Absent Minded
Chain letter Lottery Ticket Dream Music Cult
This is a dream i had
before i went crazy
I still remember it
maybe this is the dream i had
a dream on the brink of insanity
I still remember it
and i'm not sure of its effect on me
i can only analyse it now
and wonder what ways my old self
my once sane subconcious used to work
and then miss that part of me
as i compare the dreams i have that torture me today
In this dream
I come up with a chain letter scam
and im sure i could do it in real life
maybe i should
its not that hard to figure out
its like a rotating list of several nmames and a system
of moving and rearranging and adding names
to send several people a lottery ticket for good luck
fortune and fame
christmas cards
for a surprise holiday
that gets set off
when someone who wins the lottery on the list
wins the jackpot
and everyone on the list comes to collect
So I started the list off simply
and there were seven people
so therefore there were seven names
I wrote the letter with the rules
and how the letter worked and why it was written
all about the surprise holiday
and the sharing of the wealth of the lottery winnings
of the people who bought you tickets on the list
see what you were to do was buy seven lottery tickets
and rearrange the names in the right order
in which you were instructed
send out seven letters and seven lottery tickets with those letters
and then buy yourself one lottery ticket
and when the jackpot was one
one of two or three or several things would happen
you would share it with those on your lists
who had bought you tickets
because who knew what ticket was from who
or the surprise holiday would be set off
the list of names
and the method of how to add seven new names
and rearrange the orders
was a set up
for in a few years i had bags upon bags of lottery tickets
and within days through word of mouth i was found out
this chain letter was big
and of course this being my dream
after going through thousands of tickets
i had found i had the winning ticket
Hundreds of thousands of people came out of the woodworks to collect
people who were not on any list who thought i would owe them something
and thats when the games began
and my picture was everywhere
the winner of the lottery
with time quickly running out
he had to cash in his ticket to win the lottery
but thousands of people would kill for that kind of money
Living in a small town
and no body guards
and no money for gas or transportation
hiding from the rich hitmen who came to claim their prize
which had not been awarded to me yet
i had to hide and slide from strangers house to strangers house
making IOU's to spend this 20 billion dollars i was entitled to
to escape this small town to get to the lottery center to get my cheque
and either start the surprise holiday
or divy up the prize
I took the bags of tickets with me
and at night my friends would take pockets full of them
for an IOU of course
and hide them around the town
and the urban legend came to fruition
that i had hid the winning ticket somewhere amongst the losing tickets
in the streets somewhere in the buildings
somewhere in the town
and if these tourists wanted the money
they could go ahead and gracefully turn the city upside down
hundreds of thousands of tickets
some worth nothing some worth a dollar or two
one walking deadman with a ticket worth 20 billion dollars
writing IOU's
so in this dream
Im hiding in strangers houses
buying clothes and cutting my hair
wearing glasses and backwards hats
and creating distractions in town square like leap frog
and frozen tag
soo just imagine a small town
with thousands of visitors
going through your garbage cans
and hotel rooms looking for lottery tickets
trying to find the guy who needs to get a ride to the lottery centre
so he can claim his prize
before someone more wealthy kills him for his ticket
so all he can do is chanhge his appearance bribe and hide
Bribe several people to call themselves me
hitchike and get rides and steal cars and make their way for me
as we play hopskotch and frozen tag
and marbles in the streets of mystery of musical conspiracies
calling names from house to house like a guide
of candle lights flickering off and on from one house to the next
But this was foreshadowed
the players of the surprise holiday knew this was coming
so there were thousands of tourists all in balck and white shirts
trying to make the rest of the locals stand out
as the shone and faded from one day to the next
looking for the winning ticket
looking for the guy they were to collect from
looking for the reason it was all happening
looking for the detectives undercover
trained to find the hitmen
a black and white dream
searching for a oneway ticket with time running out
playing shadow and the name game of changing locations
and greedy people who would do anything to be in different shoes
frozen tag and lemonaid
and people that would just lay in the streets
the surprise holiday i saw in my dreams
around this chain letter lottery ticket game of seven names
and lists revolving around a surprise holiday
I could pull this off
I could write the letter
and make it a dream come true
I could make it a way for undercover cops to learn a thing or two
about dreams and reality
I could figure out the rotation of lists so i end up with the most tickets
I could figure out how to scam the lottery system and win everytime
but i would tell you
you wouldn;t live three days in my shoes
and its alot of paper
and sometimes its the betterment od society that counts
of who ends up in the right place at the right time
wether it be behind bars
than who is left with how much money after youre done paying off your
IOU's
