Lazlo
Omar's Blues
(David Olney/Bug Music-David Olney Songs)

My name is Lazlo but call me whatever
I'm not really sure that I am real
I come from the mind of the man you hear singing
He makes me feel what I feel
Was I sleeping, was I dreaming
Maybe I was nothing at all
Whatever I was I was not who I am
Until I heard his voice call

Tonight while he's lost in deep drunken slumber
I'll escape in the cover of a dream
And I'll walk the streets and look into the faces
Of those who are ghosts like me
And while he is tossing and turning and dreaming
I'll be with those of my kind
Until he awakes with a mouth full of ashes
And I return to the prison of his mind

When you wake in the morning and look in your mirror
Are you sure you know who you see
Friend, if you do, you're either foolish or lucky
But whoever you are you are not me

My name is Lazlo but call me whatever
I'm not really sure that I am real
