doc delay & godforbid - selling sleep lyrics
[intro]
i can feel it
[verse 1]
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 you 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 and as if to say
something that i couldn’t quite articulate (i can feel it)
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 (the moon was full as usual)
and i watched her as she slept (and i watched her as she slept)
dreaming something beautiful (dreaming something beautiful)
and i wonder what she dreamt (and i wonder what she dreamt)
[hook]
singing with the coyotes, howling on the high notes
leaning on a sign post, 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 a sign post, smiling with my eyes closed
hiding in the sheets of a cheap motel
somebody help me i don’t sleep so well
[verse 2]
hey mister, your picture’s been shown in books
kind of 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
assuming that the man in the mirror is me
and not just the one who appears in my dreams
layin’ on the sidewalk (layin’ on the sidewalk)
tryna shut my mind off (tryna 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 police man (you can call the police man)
but he won’t save us (but he won’t save us)
[hook]
singing with the coyotes, howling on the high notes
leaning on a sign post, 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 a sign post, smiling with my eyes closed
hiding in the sheets of a cheap motel
somebody help me i don’t sleep so well
