Hibernation Blues
When you feel so worn out
And just sit on the sofa and pout,
Close your sleepy eyes and
Start counting some sheep;
The world is so crazy it seems
And you can’t think of any good dreams,
Shut off the t.v.
And read a book;
You can’t get him off your mind
Because bad love is always blind,
Read a dirty magazine and
Call me in the morning;
It’s so goddamn cold outside
And your demons won’t let you hide,
Grab the bottle and drink
Yourself into oblivion;
In spite of your pretentious grace
I can see right through your face,
If you really want to go to sleep
Then let me out of this conversation so deep;
You hear the alarm ring out
In the early morning dark,
Rollover sleepy eyed and
Fall right out of bed;
Jump in the shower and let
Cold water open your tired eyes,
If that doesn’t work then why
Not try banging your head?
Swallow your past regrets with
Some sugar coated cereal and milk,
Lean over and whisper
What your sin is;
Don’t bother about work,
Call in sick and sleep in,
Why support someone else’s
Sorry assed business?
Go ahead and take a three-day weekend,
It’s your right to sleep that you defend,
If you really want some shut eye,
Than you’ll never know until you try;
Jump back in the sack,
I don’t scratch and bite
And I don’t want to fuss and fight,
Just roll over on your back
And let me give you a heart attack,
What’s life all about if
We can’t roll in the hay?
So I’m a little too honest,
All my thoughts have gone east,
I’m not trying to sound cheap
But let’s get sweaty than go to sleep,
I’m so goddamn tired
But my libido is up and fired,
Drop your clothes to the floor
And we’ll shut the world outside the door,
You can’t beat a full eight hours of sleep
After letting me into your love so deep!
