lyrics

I’m Asleep Dreaming I’m Asleep
Dreaming I’m Asleep
Dreaming I’m Asleep
Dreaming I’m Asleep
Dreaming I’m Asleep
Dreaming I’m Asleep
Dreaming I’m Asleep

A bulb glows at its brightest just before it blows
I click my heels together and pray this time I’m going home
Had to grow up fast from the basinet where I laid ma head
In amongst wet paper friends and the waking the dead
A marionette with displaced Tourette’s
Grabs my arm with fleshless hands and whispers in ma ear ‘straight to bed’
She’s the combination of Frankenstein's 2nd and 3rd attempts
Stitched breasts topped with 2 halves of 2 different severed heads
Fused together and sewn on the wrong way
Staring empty eye sockets sunk into a swan song face
Of long gone days disappeared like innocents in a dawn raid
I stumble backwards mumbling ‘I must be on ma way’
(Outside) The backyard’s full of skeletons and reptilians
Mingling as they pick over the bones of dead affiliates
Wriggling things writhe on the deck in their millions
And a faded placard reads ‘Welcome to Oblivion’
Cloaked all in black, crows watch and laugh
As ghosts of the past raise a glass to toast rotten rats
Zombie housing scheme villains wearing downtrodden masks
Watch undead dog fights and blow wads of cash
A decomposed marching band smoke hope sodden fags
Faces like slashes in leather groan, sob and sag
A witch doctor wiped the postcode off the map
So if you cross over this road then there’s no crossing back

I’m Asleep Dreaming I’m Asleep
Dreaming I’m Asleep
Dreaming I’m Asleep
Dreaming I’m Asleep
Dreaming I’m Asleep
Dreaming I’m Asleep
Dreaming I’m Asleep

I’m the twelfth monkey that jumped over the cuckoo’s nest
And I kissed McMurphy’s surgical scars and bruised head
Rain drips through ground-level seals and splashes
On subterraneous corridors that conceal the passing
Of dull-eyed, trudging orderlies,
Enthusiastic amateur chemists with swirling toxicology
Prison camp-Tannoys broadcast screeches of laughter
Manic hilarity rebounds off tiles and plaster
The truth is I never think of escape or try to run away
‘Cause it’s much the same when I wake up in the other place
Where combustion engines slug trail along approved pathways
With tin can prisoners, solitary confined and sad faced
Metallic insects exhale poisonous smoke clouds
In eternal gridlock since the traffic lights broke down
Floating heads lie to the population of identical nations
And bomb each other in the name of civilisation
And displaced peoples who feared for their family’s safety
Have their clothes and living taken and are incarcerated
There is no sense of belonging. We all take our belongings
Lock them in a box and go shopping
The planet is mined, razed and burned ‘til it glows red
Dissent is said to be standing in the way of progress
Anything less than selfishness and greed is seen as weak
And I can’t fucking tell if I’m asleep dreaming or dreaming I’m asleep

I’m Awake
Dreaming I’m Asleep
Dreaming I’m Asleep
