Sleep No More

Sky perspirates My hands shake 3:30 in the afternoon Nothing to do but wait Have to wait Hate to wait when there's no one to do But places and the spaces between them Are separate steel cylinders The biosphere's a fleeting bird With time winding ever forward I am with you in the bedraggled streets at dawn I am with you in the last gasps of conscious night I am with you, I am with you, I am with you Tectonic plates perspire Trapped together like the wires That serve the undaunting electrical pulse of the universal mind Watch as it expands out to all shores Like the masters of movement And all the little serpent kids stomp and shake Kinda like the shakers before them Sworn to a feeling We've been reeling since 73 You and me and all those other Material stagnations, crustaceans on the bottom of your feet We left the bar and drove As far as the failing engine would go All the way out past the closed Texaco Only to find your only free in your own mind And there's no pie, just harvest the wheat Become the things you seek, seek no more And there's no pie, just harvest the wheat Become the things you seek, seek no more Sleep no more, sleep no more
