Do Not Let Your Spirit Wane (MTV Unplugged Live In Melbourne)

So I have this dream
 It comes like twice in a week
 It's been so for years and years on repeat
 And since then I've not had a full night of sleep
 'Coz it plays out the same way
 I live with this girl and our kid
 I'm as happy as a pig rolled in shit
 It's postcard, I'm settled
 A pirate no more
 A gypsy at most with no mortgage
 It's boring but in the most exquisite of ways
 No carcinogenic and humdrum malaise
 And it's strange, all the things that I've run from
 Are the things that completeness could come from
 So anyways, we're happy and impossibly so
 It's earth and it's heaven all simpatico
 Floorboards laid out and the walls painted white
 My dream self and I like the same things
 They're all set to leave and I kiss them goodbye
 They go and get groceries or something and I
 Am drinking alone in the basement
 And pray that I'm not hallucinating
 Do not let this thing you got go to waste
 Do not let your heart be dismayed
 It's here by some random disclosure of grace
 From some vascular, great thing
 Let your life grow strong and sweet to the taste
 'Coz the odds are completely insane
 Do not let your spirit wane
 Do not let your spirit wane
 In love I am careful-to-mostly-reserved
 And this dream is a life I don't think I deserve
 My girl and our kid are impossibly bright
 And I am just drunk in our basement
 See a car, see my girl and look at our kid
 Approaching a corner, with rain and a skid
 Then a phone call to me from the ICU ward
 "Sir, I'm so sorry to say this"
 I'm walking alone through the hospital door
 ID their bodies, collapse to the floor
 Numb and relentlessly broken
 Then I wake up the very next moment
 Do not let this thing you got go to waste
 Do not let your heart be dismayed
 It's here by some random disclosure of grace
 From some vascular, great thing
 Do not let this thing you got go to waste
 The pain and the beauty, so strange
 Do not let your spirit wane
 Do not let your spirit wane
 Cut me out
 Take me home, my
 Hands are tired
 My legs are broke
 And the ruptured chrome
 Plus the deep unknown
 Turn my insides out
 And my head face down
 Cut me out
 Take me home, my
 Hands are tired
 My legs are broke
 And the ruptured chrome
 Plus the deep unknown
 Turn my insides out
 And my head face down
 Do not let this thing you got go to waste
 Do not let your heart be dismayed
 It's here by some random disclosure of grace
 From some vascular, great thing
 Get the fuck out of your head if it says
 "Stay cold and be deathly afraid"
 Do not let your spirit wane
 Do not let your spirit wane
