Watching you sleep in the blue light
|
From the clock radio by the bed
|
Rattle of wires in the cortex
|
Got my own radio speaking in tongues
|
I will make you peanut butter toast
|
I will make you eggs and orange juice
|
I will dress well in my finest shirt
|
I will dress finely for your birthday
|
|
You sleep so quietly
|
Outside it's your birthday
|
You sleep so quietly
|
|
The hole in the wall where the pickles struck
|
The hole in the wall where the pickles struck
|
Glints like the edge of a cool bayonet
|
The hands on the clock stand in freeze frame
|
Spin like a stop motion carousel
|
I will make you peanut butter toast
|
I will make you eggs and orange juice
|
I will dress well in my finest shirt
|
I will dress finely for your birthday
|
|
You sleep so quietly
|
Outside it's your birthday
|
You sleep so quietly
|
