  • Close your eyes and you will see
    Microflashing neon lights
    Open your eyes and you will see
    It still looks like the same thing
    Lie and wait for sleep and listen
    To your heart beat too fast for sleep
    Close your eyes and you will see
    The sound-a-sleep
    I want to go
    I want to grow
    I want to go down to go to sleep
    Your frame of reference
    Is my swimming pool
    My mind swimming pool
    Still looks like the China Sea
    Pool to sea
    And finally
    The sound-a-sleep
    Feel the moist sense in your face
    Twist relax remembering
    Everything that went down
    And will go down
    I want to go down
    To sleep
    Insomnia no sleep disease
    Petty's parking feed me please
    Lie and wait for sleep and listen
    To your heart beat too fast for sleep Writer/s: CHRIS STEIN, DEBORAH HARRY
