Wages of sleep

The New Year

Print without graphics

I have a feeling
And feelings can sometimes tow the line
That everything will always work out next time
Better than it has the other days
Eight hours of sleep can make anything go away
Until it comes back into my mind
If I had reason to think things would be different this time
Now I see
I've planted all of the evidence that I find
That my habits will get me somewhere

I have a feeling

That this will work out halfway alright
The wages of sleeping are compromise
And feelings that tell a lot of lies
Ten hours of sleep can make anything go away
And never come back into my mind
I'd have reason to think things will be different this time
If I'd never
Planted all of the evidence that I find
That my habits will get me somewhere
