SLEEPTOWN

Bring it down, now

The "lay flat" light is lit, please recline
as we carve a tunnel through an arc
of jumping sheep clouds
We'll snack on pills and warm milk
Don't forget the pillow headset

Bring it down, bring it down

White noise paints night
Dull descends like mighty nightgowns
In the aisles, on the wings
everything, dull

Bring it down, bring it down

Our dream feature for this evening
stars a cast of thousands from your life
set in surroundings of a logic jumbled,
all seen while you toss and tumble

Sex with stars, fights, flights
Endless home runs, endless runs home
Giants, gnomes
Murder, birth, sadness, mirth, space, Earth
Fall from a cliff, make a song, time travel . . .

Slight delay, can't sight a runway
There's congestion, circle 'round
soon we'll land in Sleeptown

Peer past prop propellers
cutting puffy parallels to peek through

See Sneaky Pete the Peep Clown
prancing, dancing, chancing sound
through the streets of Sleeptown

Check out the second hand clicking rhythm marching metronome corps
winding on to chime time

Bring it down, bring it down
About to land in Sleeptown

The eyelid kids have started a movement
pacing, pouncing back and forth
'cross clouded ground
They cruise in snooze to snore store
to rev their nose and throat motors

That quiet wining, pitter patter
of a cat or dog may shatter calm
Armed, the squad of cotton wad
rushes to the rescue!
A busker croons a womb tune over a heartbeat
far away down Dusky Street

Sleeptown, sleep
