about

I dreamt I climbed into bed and found his pretty body waitin' there.
Our parts were made to move as easy as his weight upon my rocking chair.
Just to feel him breathing
Brought me close to weeping

Oh right then I awake and ache to find that I am still alone,
Sleepwalkin' like a ghost.
Don't make me face the life that I've split open at the seams.
Lay me down and let me dream.

I dreamt I lived in a house that shivered and shook crooked rooms out.
They filled up with all my friends and grew a foot each time I turned around.
Just to feel at home
Soothed me to the bone.

Oh right then I awake to find that I am living in a tomb,
Sleepwalking through empty rooms.
Don't make me face the life that I've split open at the seams.
Lay me down and let me dream.

You can't make me chew this bitter fruit or make me swallow.
Why should I move on when I can sleep and I can wallow?

I dreamt any box and string would melt to music in my loving hands.
All the drunken freaks and fools would slither out to watch my fingers dance.
Just to play them wild thrilled me like a child.

Oh right then I awake and ache to find my fingers stiff and slow
Sleepwalkin' to tuneless notes.
Don't make me face the life that I've split open at the seams.
Lay me down and let me dream.
