Overview
"Dreamland" was written by Bush Longtail for The Kitty Concert in January 2002. Although the band received it generally well (Elec even fancying it enough to perform a demo of it with Longtail), it was overlooked because of the other songs written that month, 4068 Water Balloons, Nickson Road, and I'm In A Daze (the latter of the two being written by Longtail as well).

Betwixt work and band practice, Longtail found himself to be consistently tired, so he wrote "Dreamland" about finally being able to get to sleep.

Lyrics
Pardon me, but I hear dreamland calling

Yes, slumber begs for me to join it in the night

It surely will enchant me and seduced me to pajamas

But, baby, I ain't putting up a fight

'Cause I wanna be in bed

I wanna rest my head upon a pillow

I cry like a weeping willow

'Cause I wanna be in bed

I wanna rest my head upon some silk

And just go to sleep and never wake up

Excuse me, but I see dreamland waving

It's instructing that I join it now at once

It surely will incite me and seduced me to pajamas

But to deny it, dear, I'd be a dunce

'Cause I wanna be in bed

I wanna rest my head upon a pillow

I cry like a weeping willow

'Cause I wanna be in bed

I wanna rest my head upon some silk

And just go to sleep and never wake up

Tell me a bedtime story and sing me a lullaby

If I don't get to sleep tonight I think that I might die

I wanna close my eyes and drift away

'Cause I wanna be in bed

I wanna rest my head upon a pillow

I cry like a weeping willow

'Cause I wanna be in bed

I wanna rest my head upon some silk

And just go to sleep and never wake up
