You might sleep, but you'll never dream

Onward! Progress! Or so it seems.

You might laugh, but you'll never smile.

Come on in and waste away awhile.



When dreams of rings of flowers fade and blur

Giving way to that familiar ill

come over and part your soft white curtains

Where I'm waiting for you still

If you'd unlatch the window,

If you'd let me lay there on your floor

If you'd give me another chance,

If you'd forget the pain I caused before

No use in saying how I'm sorry

So I'm trying not to speak

I'll sing in silence, lay beside you

With my face there on your cheek

My stomach swears there's comfort there

In the warmth of the blankets on your bed

My stomach's always been a liar-

I'll believe it's lies again.
