Why Don’t You Sleep?

Strap my laces tight
I’m going to run away today
No release will make me right
I haven’t slept for eleven days
Help me
Help me
Help me 
(Help me)
why don’t you sleep, dear
why don’t you sleep, dear
nothing will happen ta you
you’re safe while you sleep, here
zombie boy on the road
better than a zombie in bed
i can’t ever do what i’m told
i’ll sleep when when i am dead
Help me
but you can’t help me
I’ll bet you can’t help me
why don’t you sleep, dear
why don’t you sleep, dear
nothing will happen ta you
you’re safe while you sleep, here
there’ll be no spiders to bite your tongue
there’ll be no viruses in your lungs
and the earthquake won’t pin you
so why don’t you sleep?
why don’t you sleep?
I’ll come around
I’ll come around
I’ll come around
I’ll come around
And darkness shows me the way….
why don’t you sleep, dear
why don’t you sleep, dear
nothing will happen ta you
you’re safe while you sleep, HERE
there’ll be no spiders to bite your tongue
there’ll be no viruses in your lungs
and the earthquake won’t pin you
so why can’t you sleep?
why don’t you sleep?
