85 Weeks Lyrics
once Eric said "come gather 'round i'll tell a tale that is sure to astound un-somnambulist that's awake see he don't sleep talkin' talkin' ne break walkin' nut you don't believe oo-ooh no, you don't believe no, you don't believe
as to his fame he has two claims he is a Don and as well a Captain un-somnambulist he was awake see for eighty-five weeks with no sleep it's crazy maybe but you don't believe oo-ooh no, you do't believe no, you don't believe
they called him freak and he lost all his friends could only speak to the boys in the band un-somnambulist you stay awake and see what happens eighty-five weeks with no nappin' but you don't believe oo-ooh no, you don't believe no, you don't believe
please will you listen to what then did occur? the worl to him was all covered in fur un-somnambulist let me explain see the fur changed to wood grain everything can you believe it? but you don't believe oo-ooh no, you don't believe no, you don't believe but you don't believe oo-ooh no, you don't believe no, you don't believe?"

Great song.
A somnabulist is a sleepwalker, right?
like being a zombie
Simply put... this is a song about Captain Beefheart, whom Eric used to play with in his Magical Band. Ummmm... Beefheart is not yer average dude. Neither is Charles Thompson. Lucky for us!
