(sleep drives) sleep drives me, the rain drives me, the road rocks you to sleep. weights eyes ease, the lights sigh breathe, the road slips through your dream. bound and gagged from head to toe. finely paced too fast too slow. easing gently to the end, my friend. slipping slowly through the gloom, a monotone a rhythmic tune. beating heart this iron pretends, again. currents of warm cloudy air, a soft one hundred miles per hour. floating through your glowing mind. the sign. sleep drives me. rain drives me. sleep drives me. rain drives me on and on, and on, and on. sleep drives me. rain drives me. sleep drives me. rain drives me on and on, and on, and on. sleep drives me, the rain drives me, the road rocks you to sleep.
(long enough to bring you back) in the eye of a hurricane, and on the edge of your smile. being cut from a photograph, you’re dropping out for a while. did you try, did you ever try. or did you just let things slide. and left to hang from a dying tree, i fell apart from inside. she wears black, she wears grey. live life long enough you know what to say. she wears grey, she wears black. live life long enough to bring you back. in the air, in the shaking air. i hear you calling to me. i’d love to know, but was gone too soon to know. what’s at the end of the dream. she wears black, she wears grey. live life long enough you know what to say. she wears grey, she wears black. live life long enough to bring you back.
(down) i can’t believe that this is happening again. i can’t believe that this could fall apart again and that you said what you said right now. right now. this fight of here and now it gravitates to you. in spite of all that i have tried to say and do, it’s over and i’m through right now. right now. so don’t you try and see me, it gets me down. i can’t believe that you won’t see me. i can’t resist the thoughts of what we could have been and play it over ‘til i’ve memorised the scene, you’re another person’s dream right now. right now. so don’t you try and see me, it gets me down. i can’t believe that you won’t see me, it gets me down. and will this feeling ever leave me. i can’t believe that this is happening again. i can’t believe that this could fall apart again and that you said what you said right now. right now.
(hope, glass and minarets) you walk pavement, cry dream and run. i hide four-walled, burn in the sun. i know the future is mine, i know i’m just marking time. you are dialling all round the world. my monologue shrouded in code. i gasp, the way is too high. you see, the truth and live the life. can you reach for the seaplane, it’s so cold now. see reality replay, slip your hold now. you see skyline, hope glass and minarets. there’s just garbage, landfill and deep regret. i dream, what i dare not say. i dream, i’m four years of age. sit beside me, share these feelings but not too loudly, i am sleeping. i know, there’s things to be done. i burn, i’m pegged in the sun. can you breathe in, this heatwave dries you. old doubt. can you reach for the seaplane. can you hold on.
