Today is the last day that I'm using words
They've gone out, lost their meaning
Don't function anymore

Let's, let's, let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious honey

Today is the last day that I'm using words
They've gone out, lost their meaning
Don't function anymore

Traveling, leaving logic and reason
Traveling, to the arms of unconsciousness
Traveling, leaving logic and reason
Traveling, to the arms of unconsciousness

Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious

Words are useless, especially sentences
They don't stand for anything
How could they explain how I feel

Traveling, traveling, I'm traveling
Traveling, traveling, leaving logic and reason
Traveling, traveling, I'm gonna relax
Traveling, traveling, in the arms of unconsciousness

Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious

And inside we're all still wet
Longing and yearning
How can I explain how I feel?

Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious

Traveling, traveling
Traveling, traveling
Traveling, traveling
Traveling, traveling, in the arms of unconsciousness

And all that you've ever learned
Try to forget
I'll never explain again

    Writing by Rival Bjork, Raw Emotion, Meaning and Rage by Lady Madonna, Bedtime Stories is about all the values and cultural mores that Madonna once held dear but now has seen through and that the meadia tabloids she wishes and hopes would go away once and for all. The media and press are nothing but feeders who take but never give and that the people who don't like and absolutely hate and detest Madonna have a lot to say about outrage, antics and her controversies and absolutely nothing good to say about what Madonna actually does best and is really known for-her music, her humanity and her art. Madonna is basically saying that talk is cheap without action. She is "Traveling into the arms of unconsciousness"-and transcendence! Then, when Madonna pleads to her audience in Sad and Wet Tears -"And Inside/We're All Still Wet!/Longing and Yearning/How Can I Explain How I Feel?," She is Crying in Tears. There is only one emotion Madonna feels and it is that of Sadness. Madonna Can't Stop Crying Her Heart Out Because She is Sad Beyond Belief. Lady Madge Will Never Explain Again! Miss Ciccone is moving on with her life. When Lola and Rocco Hear the Bedtime Stories, they begin to cry. Mother Madonna reassueres Lola and Rocco "Hey my friends, I had to go through my trials to get to where I am now. Lola and Rocco, it's ok! I love you both! Lola and Rocco say to their mother "Mother Madonna we love you both!" And so it shall be for the Ciccones.
