lyrics

I'm pulling a rope to sit up in bed
I'm trying to recall some dreams that I had
I stare at a spot of light on the wall
And wonder why my mind thinks sleep is so dull

Some voices are talking about something odd
And someone who's not me is thinking of god
My cat keeps on whining about something new
And two socks are thinking of something to do

Where is my pillow?
And where is my head?
The clock on the stereo is making me mad
Why am I thinking?
And why so awake?
Tomorrow I'm certainly starting to shake

The fan on the ceiling is looking so calm
Or maybe it's just me with no glasses on
The wheels keep on spinning not tired at all
Just stop them for Christ sake I'm trying to fall
Asleep
I'm trying to fall
Asleep

I'm trying to fall
Asleep
Where has it gone?
And when it's done
Tying my brain with a string of nylon
My sleep
Where has it gone?
And when it's done
Tying my brain with a string of nylon

The blue sheets are getting so nervous I see
Well what are you looking it's not up to me
The silence is screaming at me to shut up
I still try to make the monotony stop

Where is my eyelid?
And where is my bed?
My dream list is waiting in line to be made
For now just an hour or two maybe three
The clock hands are starting to stare back at me

Trying to fall, asleep
