SLAM 2004
Bound for Andromeda and Sleepin’ In Sold my house Trashed the car Stopped the paper Halted the mail Started yawning But I won’t sleep Soon I'll have time To do just that Quit my job Named Boss a jerk Gave my enemies A farewell flip Started yawning But I won’t sleep Soon I'll have time To do just that Dumped the pictures Of my naked ex They’re lying on top For the garbage men Started yawning But I won’t sleep Soon I'll have time To do just that My favorite book I read again Then returned it to The overdue bin Started yawning But I won’t sleep Soon I'll have time To do just that Sent the government An I.O.U. Let’s see them collect In a month or two Started yawning But I won’t sleep Soon I'll have time To do just that Took my cat to Uncle Joe’s Ate one last meal Savoring the pie That Aunt Bess baked Started yawning But I won’t sleep Soon I'll have time To do just that Wrapped my dreams In silvery fabric Slid in the capsule For the long flight out Started yawning And now I’ll sleep There's plenty of time To do just that ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
