Feel the matress tense beneath me
Like the muscle of nonsleepy
Feathers flexing will defeat me
And it vexes me completelyAnd the hexes heat covertly
Like a slow low-flying turkey
Like a Texan drying jerky
But his meaty mitts can't hurt meWith my steely will compounded
In a mighty mound that's hounded
By the snap my steel string sounded
Just before your snores unwound itAnd in store are dreams so daring
That the night can't stop from staring
I'll swim sweetly as a herring
Through the ether, not despairingGo to sleep, you stunning sky
Gently creep cunning by
A quiet hum is amplified
By your thumb
That you suck dryHundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh
Hold your breath and clasp at CassiopeiaHundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh
Hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopeia
Cassiopeia, Cassiopeia
Oh oh, Cassiopeia
