You might sleep, but you'll never dream
Onward, progress, or so it seems
And you might laugh, but you'll never smile
Come on in and waste away awhileYou might sleep, but you'll never dream
Onward, progress, or so it seems
And you might laugh, but you'll never smile
Come on in and waste away awhileWhen 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 stillIf you'd unlatch the window
And 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 beforeNo 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 cheekMy 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
