Close your eyes and you will see

Microflashing neon lights

Open your eyes and you will see

It still looks like the same thing

Lie and wait for sleep and listen

To your heart beat too fast for sleep



Close your eyes and you will see

The sound-a-sleep

I want to go

I want to grow

I want to go down to go to sleep



Your frame of reference

Is my swimming pool

My mind swimming pool

Still looks like the China Sea

Pool to sea

And finally

The sound-a-sleep



Feel the moist sense in your face

Twist relax remembering

Everything that went down

And will go down

I want to go down

To sleep



Insomnia no sleep disease

Petty's parking feed me please

Lie and wait for sleep and listen

To your heart beat too fast for sleep
