One Easy Thing

I need to sleep

So very, very deeply

So very, very deeply

Can I sing for my supper?

Can I dance on a penny?

It is useless, but I am faithful

Like a snowball in the rain

I'm reaching

I'm stumbling over my own feet

Day after day

Praying I wake up in a foreign land

So varied and strange

In another body

In a shapeless frame

And in the morning

So grey and static

I will fix my eyeline

On the nearest easy thing

And when you used to laugh

Rooms used to open for you

Like a handshake returned

Like a mother weeping

But I am on the call

And I am waiting

Well, I am going to take these clothes off now

And I will swim out

I will let it wash over me

And if you want some blood

If you need the time

If you want somebody's head

Here, take mine

And if you want some blood

If you need the time

Well, if you need somebody's head

Well, here, take mine

But I am on the call

And I am waiting

But I am on the call

And I am waiting

I need to sleep

So very, very deeply

So very, very deeply

So very, very deeply

So very, very deeply

So very, very deeply

So very, very deeply

Oh very, very deeply

So very, very deeply
