Intro: (repeat 4x)
I awoke in a sinking Manhattan.
I played in drunken cathedrals.
There were businessmen in armchairs with namebrands and short hair.
Detonating with evil.
So I scratched out the eyes of all my past lives.
And gathered my crooked flowers.
The gardener grins as the toothache begins.
And the angels sing free from the towers.
Can't stop this sleepwalking.
Can't stop my mind from talking.
(repeat 2x)
Holy laughter in the river with Ginsey.
I saw John in heaven dancing with Buddha.
Throwing pennies of X on the genXers heads.
Singing could--would--should-.
In my dreams I've seen things naked and puzzled.
My future fluorescent and dark.
And my spies realize that hope's euthanized.
By the paranoid ache in my heart.
Can't stop this sleepwalking.
Can't stop my mind keeps on talking.
Can't stop this sleepwalking.
(The prisoner in my head)
Can't stop my mind.
(Scaring me to death)
