Like the muscle of nonsleepy
Feathers flexing will defeat me
And it vexes me completely
And the hexes heat covertly
Like a slow low-flying turkey
Like a Texan drying jerky
But his meaty mitts can't hurt me
With my steely will compounded
In a mighty mound that's hounded
By the snap my steel string sounded
Just before your snores unwound it
And 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 despairing
Go to sleep, you stunning sky
Gently creep cunning by
A quiet hum is amplified
By your thumb
That you suck dry
Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh
Hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopiea
Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh
Hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopiea
Cassiopiea, Cassiopiea
Oh oh, Cassiopiea
Feel the matress tense beneath me Like the muscle of nonsleepy Feathers flexing will defeat me And it vexes me completely And the hexes heat covertly Like a slow low-flying turkey Like a Texan drying jerky But his meaty mitts can't hurt me With my steely will compounded In a mighty mound that's hounded By the snap my steel string sounded Just before your snores unwound it And 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 despairing Go to sleep, you stunning sky Gently creep cunning by A quiet hum is amplified By your thumb That you suck dry Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh Hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopiea Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh Hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopiea Cassiopiea, Cassiopiea Oh oh, Cassiopiea Explain Request ×
