alas, a heart in pain,
puts the mind to bed,
to sleep, to dream,
to rest a weary head.

but sleep too long and you forget
some things you've read.

oh sleep too long and you forget
some things you've said.

the last long sleep will come
when you are dead.

yes... there's plenty of time to sleep
when you are dead.*





* SO WAKE UP ALREADY, DAMMIT!
