Once nightly, Exciting. And now lately, I’m waiting— I’m waiting for the arrow, Quiver and bow, Quiver and bow, Become green and go, I think you know, I think you know. Late night Late night left turn Out of the darkness Into lanes of light And rings of string That ties us tight And bound for life And you’re ready, Already. And I’m sorry, I’m tardy— I’m hardly half human, But I'm a fan Oh, I'm a fan... I’ll do what I can, Without a plan, Without a plan. Late night Late night left turn Out of the darkness Into lanes of light And rings of string That ties us tight And bound for life Why not Tie knot Now you’re closer Now you're near We've come so far What's this fear? This lovely Discovery Of bubbly Feelings doubly. We'll really proclaim it bold Before we're old, Let all behold Our heat never cold, Let all behold Before we're old. Late night Late night left turn Out of the darkness Into lanes of light And rings of string That ties us tight And bound for life Why not Tie knot Now that you’re closer Now that you're nearer We've come so far What need have we for fear? None I'm done Pretendin' That you and I Aren't kissin'! Hey there Hun, I'm done Pretendin' That you, You and I Aren't kissin'! Hey there Hun, I'm done Pretendin' That you, You and I Are not kissing.

One time I thought Since then have forgot The words I would say If I met Friends again Arguments I could win now… My lips were bold The truth it is cold And gone Is the help Of my hand And my head Cannot stand Soon be dead, I’ll I have got nothing on my mind I have got nothing on my mind I have got nothing on my mind I have got nothing, nothing…. I used to say “I can't wait to go grey” But now Time is trite And every sight Seems the same Every night Feel the flame of Passions once dreamed Chances unredeemed And now Ticking clocks Keep the beat Ceaselessly Off my feet Obsolete, I’m I have got nothing on my mind I have got nothing on my mind I have got nothing on my mind I have got nothing, nothing.... I have got nothing on my mind I have got nothing on my mind I have got nothing on my mind I have got nothing, nothing....

Forecast has been bleak The season, a shame Damned dry dusty blue And always the same But big cloud brewing Across fruitless plain Rolls up into view Portends a rich rain Devastating downpour kills things Crop corpses in left field fall Farmer Henry is so angry Bitter storm o’er Henry squalling… Just like Job of old, Hen has lost his yield Formless force of wind The power it wields To take his toil And sprinkle the flakes All around the farm— And now his heart breaks Hasty as a horse Set loose at a sound, Tempest rage renews As lightning strikes ground Holy cow bows and bolts; Its fear pumps its blood In the midst and might Of the fearsome flood Devastating downpour kills things Crop corpses in left field fall Farmer Henry is so angry Bitter storm o’er Henry balling… Devastating downpour kills things Crop corpses in left field fall Farmer Henry is so angry Bitter storm o’er Henry calling…

Here comes funny feel You can’t explain You can’t even speak Or say your name You hate this ordeal: Your tongue is numb Lost in outer space Floating away Floating away Floating away Now full flow the water words aglow They crash and clash, a blissful bash they Stream, are slick, a dream, they dash And know just where they need to go— Soon again the water words begin To wait and watch and become lost and Lonely, loose, a stone, across The stream upsets and dam/damns the dream— You think it’s surreal Screaming inside Losing at this fight You versus you Make your last appeal Try hard to try Softly your voice falls Out of the blue Out of the blue Out of the blue Now full flow the water words aglow They crash and clash, a blissful bash they Stream, are slick, a dream, they dash And know just where they need to go— Soon again the water words begin To wait and watch and become lost and Lonely, loose, a stone, across The stream upsets and dam/damns the dream—

I guess I’ll get up And put on my clothes I guess I’ll give up My dreaming repose But my bed And my head They are one They are warm I can’t move I can’t lose Perfect sleep Perfect peace Should I go? I don’t know. Give me time Give me five (It is okay for you to go and dream all day) But my bed And my head They are one They are warm I can’t move I can’t lose Perfect sleep Perfect peace Should I go? I don’t know. Give me time Give me five (It is okay for you to go and dream all day) I think I’ll lie here Until tomorrow I think I’ll die here In morning’s green glow Yeah, my bed And my head They are one They are warm (Lay in bed) I won’t move I won’t lose Perfect sleep Perfect peace (Rest your head) I can’t go Now I know Nevermind What is time? (Drift away) (It is okay for you to go and dream all day) Yeah, my bed And my head They are one They are warm (In bed) I won’t move I won’t lose Perfect sleep Perfect peace (Rest your head) I can’t go Now I know What is time? Nevermind (Drift away) (It is okay for you to go and dream all day) I'm sleeping! Dreaming again Scenes from the land And private sea of me Nothing to share Alone here I care Not for a thing of thee (Of thee) But the sights shift And sometimes I do drift Into grey worries Bleakly looking back Nothing here is real All phantom and feel Everything is blurry I should not be In such a big Hasty hopeless hard-pressed hurry Just to trust these dreams I guess I’ll get up! (get up) (get up) (get up) (get up) Here I have lain As if I were slain Never to move From my bedroom My whole body aches Nestled in blanks, Pillows and sheets Softness replete Comfort cannot sate 'Cuz in my murky state The great unknown Tingles my bones What lies beyond The end of my yawn? What will I do When I push on through? Well why should I rise up then And face the anguish of day The people and the problems That get in the way Of peaceful easy feelings And extinguish my flame These people these problems strain Or maybe it's me My lazy mind Its stupid sleeping All of the time I guess I'll get up for good! Here I have lain As though I were slain And never to move From my bedroom But what's with the light Still shining bright? I flipped the switch But maybe I didn't Something of a stretch But I know how to catch A whole bunch of Z's I could sell them for money My black coffee brain Is sweet with spice again Sleep steams the stream Merrily down the dream. Oh no.
