The Sleeping States, or... Lyrics
"The Sleeping States, or Who Has Been Rocking My Dreamboat"
(full title wouldn't fit)
watching your mouth in the evening
as the sun's going down
how low can you (drew?)
you said i never look when i sleep
cause i'm a slave to the night
and it keeps me from seeing too much
watching blue sky in the evening
as you're drying your eyes
maybe tonight i will look for you
as i stood up to go home
i offered you books for your mind
but you looked at me shaking your head
saying i start them all the time
remembering your eyes
as the sun goes down
asking how far would you go
to see
oh watching blue skies in the evening
as you're closing your eyes
how far can you go?
as the sun's going down
how low can you (drew?)
you said i never look when i sleep
cause i'm a slave to the night
and it keeps me from seeing too much
watching blue sky in the evening
as you're drying your eyes
maybe tonight i will look for you
i offered you books for your mind
but you looked at me shaking your head
saying i start them all the time
as the sun goes down
asking how far would you go
to see
as you're closing your eyes
how far can you go?

watching your mouth in the evening as the sun's going down how long can you dream you say i never look when i sleep: cause i'm a slave to the night and it keeps me from seeing too much watching blue sky in the evening as you're drying your eyes well, maybe tonight i will look for you
as i stood up to go home i offered you books for your mind but you looked at me shaking your head saying i start them all the time
remembering your eyes as the sun goes down asking: how far would you go to see?
oh watching blue skies in the evening as you're closing your eyes how far can you go?
these lyrics are beautiful. the fragmented images of bodies, the sky. it makes all seem very fluid, very optical. i like it.
