I've been trying to sleep forever Slipping in and out of the daylight Coming in to my own Falling apart Laying on a hardwood floor Watching a whistling maid She was Dusting the ceiling fan That spun with the breeze The windows bent inwards Our house caved in Put me right out Tiny men in the jukebox were playing a song I knew all the notes so I would sing along There was a yellow dog he would sit in the sand and smile The tip of his tail was white And he had six toes And he wouldn’t shake hands Little kids swimming in the beach Making up songs about drowning My hands were cold so I put them in a bar But I fell in and went right through The drop didn't take long Before I landed in the air above a sailboat The men looked at me with a simulated surprise Somehow they knew I've been there right then I tried to say a few words but nothing came to mind Their blank stares returned to bored looks I could see a cars headlights coming up through the water I got into the chase was on But the drivers seat was empty I took the wheel It turn to dusk Lock the doors Just close my eyes
