‘While you were sleeping you tossed you turned
You rolled your eyes as the world burned
The heavens fell the earth quaked
I thought you must be but you weren’t awake, no
You were dreaming you ignored the sun
You grew your power garden for your little ones
And you found brides for them on Christmas Eve
They hung young Cain from the Adam trees
And danced uh oh
While you were sleeping I tossed and I turned too
I closed my eyes but the future burned through
The planet turned a hair grey as I relived the day…
I’ll never catch up to you who sleep so sound
My yawns are useless my heart beats too loud
To go to sleep my mind’s too proud to bow out.’
Lyrics by Elvis Perkins
