Sleepyhead 04:06
Welcome to population: You I hope you brought a lot of cigarettes I hope you brought a lot of good books to read I hope you get a lot of help I hope you get a handle on yourself Welcome to the mountains and the big trees A land of pink clouds and chickadees Donʼt forget how your time was spent Now the time you spend You pay for it Living like a dog is all you wanted Sleepyhead Basking in the sun Learn to love it or get over it I can feel you tap-tapping over my head Youʼre a lonely storm You should do no harm I will place a tin roof under you This is what you get Living like a dog is all you wanted Sleepyhead Basking in the sun Learn to love it or get over it Youʼre home

I got a heart It was built to beat I got a lung It was built for to breathe I got a mind It was built to think Putting it all together Keeping me safe So why do I feel so strange Why am I so afraid That all that I am used to Will suddenly stop What If the sun forgets to shine Dark all day and I donʼt mind Iʼm not gonna cry at all What If my heart forgets to beat What if my lung forgets to breathe Iʼm not gonna die at all Cause Iʼm so happy But why am I Why am I at all

Here she comes again Here she comes A feeling that understand I see her smile at me I see her smile A feeling that I understand Sheʼs got a secret But it ainʼt hidden Its in her eyes and all around her Welcome home She keeps her own bed She wears her own clothes She takes her own steps She speaks her own voice Baby what you have I gotta get me some of that Turn the TV off Forget your phone Can you sit with the feeling Of being alone Give it a try Close your eyes and see Youʼre doing it fine Youʼre young and alive You got the time to spare Go figure it out Write me a letter From wherever you go when you get there You got the wide eyes You got a young heart You got the vision You got yourself free and clean Donʼt sit and talk about it This is your one chance to make life Everything you want it to be

The winterʼs coming and my fingers are cold I got new socks they keep my feet pretty warm We laugh and play like a couple of kids Iʼm so happy to be learning new tricks I can make the best of all my time I can shake the monkey off my mind I was lost with nothing to live for I could join the army put myself in a war So upset I didnʼt know what to do But Iʼm so happy now that I found you We can make the best of all our time We can find a better kind of life When I was a little boy Everything was in pictures and movies I did what other people thought I should But now my mind is different I canʼt tell you what is winning what is losing Or which I been choosing to do My mind and body made a little bet Can I be happy am I able to yet For all my life they never could get along They split the money and nobody won I canʼt take it losing all the time I feel like Iʼm losing my mind When I was a little boy Everything was in pictures and movies I did what other people thought I should But now my mind is different I can tell you what is winning what is losing And which Iʼll be choosing to do Move your mind another step with me Weʼll take our time and make it last When I feel you lying next to me Iʼll know that I am finally a man Weʼre gonna love each other now the best we can

Meat on a String I believe in a thread That flows through all Good and the bad I wouldnʼt complain I guess I could Wonʼt change a thing So whats the use The smartest thing I ever said is that I donʼt know much Better stay out of it Stay in my head stay in my bed Youʼre right like a dream You always get what you want You never got what you needed Now youʼre too far gone to see it Donʼt need to know what it means I know how it feels You donʼt have to see it To believe that itʼs real Call it a God Call it a Key Call it a Drug It donʼt matter to me Meat on a string Call it a rosary Start praying to whatever you believe in You and me used to think life was too easy Oh how easy it is to make it hard For some folks pain is the only way They can believe in a God They got faith in a savior

about

Sometimes I wonder why, when, and how I became the fearful person that I most certainly am today. It must have happened around the time I got smart enough to realize how little I actually know. What I discovered was that I wasnʼt that good, and I was not owed anything.
