Sleep All Day

Woke up this morning with a battle raging in my head
Bird song reaching in my window but a storm is brewing
…Over my bed
Sleep All Day Sleep All Day
(Don’t want to) Sleep All Day
(Don’t want to) Sleep All Day
All night songs, lost at sea,
you feel the curse of being you and me
What’s that you say? Our house is on fire?
I don’t understand? Our house is on fire!
Sleep All Day Sleep All Day
(Don’t want to) Sleep All Day
(Don’t want to) Sleep All Day
He’s sorry, sometimes she sleeps to kill the worry
She’s sorry, sometimes he sleeps to keep the worry
At bay
Sometimes I sleep, sleep all day
Open my eyes, it’s an empty room
No sound of life, like a tomb
I used to see with my eyes closed
But now, what do you suppose?
Sometimes I sleep,
Sleep all day

Fountain Of Youth

Call it a lust for life
I called it all pretty lies
And asked you to lie to me, lie to me, lie to me
Famished, yet the feast never ends
I drink but the thirst comes again
Lie to me, lie to me, lie to me, yeah
Youth!
Is wasted on the young
Don’t know the battle can’t be won
Without a white flag
Give up the gun
French kissing in the fighting top
A madness in the men’s shop
Ladies smoke in the waiting room
It happens to me, it happens to you
Call it a modern life
I call it all pretty lies
Don’t lie to me, lie to me, lie to me, yeah
A kid, a tee and (a) sweater vest
Dreaming of the “dust I guess”
Never wear your Sunday best: lie to me, lie to me
Panic in the fighting top
Confused at the bus stop
Lock the door on the baby’s room
It happens to me, it happens: it’s true!
Youth!
Is wasted on the young
Don’t know the battle can’t be won
Without a white flag
Give up the gun

I heard it straight from the MP’s lips
A cheery smile gets the biggest tips
He wasn’t trying any parlor tricks
But I’m unsure of his politics
But his back was to the chair his face to the door
The green seats all clapped and roared!
“Some last for years or only days or months
But I was the future once”
I felt his smile deep in my heart
That fire of the past, the passionate part, the sour and tart
Better that than the demon you know
Some pick up guitars and scream and jump
They said we had a future once…
That bearded queer saw deeper than I
The rainbow twinkle in his teary eyes
But I don't think he ever heard a word
Or at the least he really misunderstood
Liking the tongue, but missing the cheek
Sometimes it’s better not to find what you seek
You build your castle from yesterday’s junk
But I was the future once

Happy Birthday!
Have a slice or two
Eat the whole cake
No one’s stopping you
If no one’s there
Please don’t despair!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
You’ll die it’s true
I say it plain
Break the news to you
But don’t despair
Someone’s waiting there
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
A cloud over you
Angel wings of all things
And the strings that He cued
Don’t feel the care
That once stole the air
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday!
There’s there no Fountain of Youth
Juan Ponce De Leon
was lost in the woods
But have a care
Someone’s waiting there
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday!
Have a slice or two
Eat the whole cake
No one’s stopping you
If no one’s there
Please don’t despair!
Happy Birthday!

Won't Get Over It

Hang on
By your teeth if you hafta
Hang on
A tease in the courtroom
Hang on
Hang on
By your teeth if you hafta
Hang on
Trapeze in the backroom
Hang on
Won’t get over it
Even if you make me
Even if you break me
Won’t get over it
Take a walk
Breathe deep in the country air
In a country house
An island get away
Try to stay awake
Steamed and dreaming of
Breaking your favorite plates
In the neighbor’s drive
Got to get away
Try to stay awake
It's a long night, it's a bad drive
It's a complicated way to stay alive!
Won’t get over it
Even if you make me
Even if you break me
Won’t get over it
Run in place
Breathe deep the country air
In a country house
Gate-ed estate
Stay awake
Mother’s sleeping in
The room next door again
her caretaker cares for your sins
more than you care for them
This is not life, this is not the way to live it...
Might as well just
GIVE IN
Won’t get over it
Even if you make me
Even if you break me
Won’t get over it
It's a long night, it's a bad drive
It's a complicated way to stay alive!
Will she remember?
Will she remember?
Won’t get over it
Even if you make me
This is not life, this is not the way to live it...
When will I get it right? When will I give in?
