lyrics

Lay awake
I’m lying here wide awake
Can’t get a finger in
Around the edge of a dream

But I wish I was asleep
In repose like some noble beast
To reflect upon
To be reflected upon

Statuesque brilliance
Over ambivalence
And I’m hanging on
Thinking about what I’ve done

Feeling a golden string
That’s wrapped around everything
Just one little tug upon
And everything comes undone

I sleep like a train set
My arms and my legs are tired and wooden
My mouth is a tunnel, a great cavernous thing
And my heartbeat's the pulse that is pushing the engine

So long to this gracious endeavour
We'll al go to sleep, and I'll thank you whenever
You are a troublesome, quarrelous thing
You are the impulse pushing the engine
