lyrics
STAY AWAKE
He sinks into a shadow
to ditch the thunder cloud.
He sniffs a puff of bright white
and cleans the key with his mouth.
His sleepless eyes grow out
from deep inside his head.
He says, "Sniff a hit of bliss.
It's better than all of this
strangely tainted air we breathe."
Confused by what he says,
I steal away to bed
and leave him to fight for some sleep.
I close my eyes. I feel paralyzed.
What if he must stay awake
until he dies?
So tired from wrestling bed sheets,
but still I cannot sleep.
So I grab my keys and raincoat.
I go and search the street.
I quit the fight and sign up for the flight.
I make rocket cocktail floats
and origami boats,
a cargo full of white, bright bliss.
Since I long to understand
the musings of this man,
I'm going to have to follow after him.
I close my eyes. I feel paralyzed.
Why not stay awake together
until we die?
I trade all my postcards for him.
...sell all my red clay.
He swallows a handful of pins
only to melt away.
