A scar on her neck, from where she slit her throat,
And she smiled as she wept and she said a little joke,
"Now I got no time for your mystics and psychics,
Different devices, gimmicks and light tricks."
Took a breath, and held it deep.
"I'm looking for the man who is selling sleep."
"Don't drift away," she nodded then as if to say
Something that I couldn't quite articulate.
A colorful kaleidoscope
Behind the eyes inside the soul
Where the winos line the roads
Amongst the undesirables.
Reading Bible quotes
The sky aglow with burning styrofoam.
The moon was full as usual
And I watched her as she slept,
Dreaming something beautiful
And I wondered what she dreamt.
Singing with the coyotes
Howling on the high notes
Leaning on the signpost
Smiling with my eyes closed.
Hiding in the sheets of a cheap motel
Somebody help me I don't sleep so well.
Singing with the coyotes
Howling on the high notes
Leaning on the signpost
Smiling with my eyes closed.
Hiding in the sheets of a cheap motel
Somebody help me I don't sleep so well.
Hey mister, your picture's been shown in books
Kinda walk funny from the cloven hooves.
Dealing in daydreams and stolen goods
Something's in the shadows where the old man stood.
If fear is a disease and the spirit is free
Then all of religion is a pyramid scheme
a**uming that the man in the mirror is me
And not just the one who appears in my dreams.
Laying on the sidewalk (laying on the sidewalk)
Trying to shut my mind off (trying to shut my mind off)
Maybe it's the weather (maybe it's the weather)
I think I need a little time off (I think I need a little time off)
Well it won't take much (well it won't take much)
Until you won't wake up (until you won't wake up)
You can call the policeman (you can call the policeman)
But he won't save us (but he won't save us)
