lyrics

Sleep
To sleep
Too deep to
Drifting doldrums
I follow the headlights
As they rise across the ceiling
False sunrises bring hope
And then fade again
Sleep

To sleep in unfettered skin
To wear the life of another
I won’t find that here
They know me
Anywhere I go
I must have raped, murdered
Or practiced law
Stones hurled
And angry faces
Sleep

Sleep
Because you and I
Are just one
With endless unfolding stories
That we will someday
Sit around and recant
But, for now
sleep

And, we will meet again
In St. Peter’s restroom
You’ll know me
By my smile
Sleep

Urinal shaped men
Crying in unison
Tears run slowly
As the headlights are
Hurled across the ceiling
And all of those angry faces
Bring hope
And then fade again
Sleep
And the world is yours
Awaken to follow the headlights
But, this time it’s for real
And there is no second chance

Sleep
Before someone moves into your skin
And decelerates
All that you have worked for
In a urinal lavender cake swirl

Sleep
And we will meet again
Sleep

Sleep
And we will meet again
Sleep
