Narcolepsy

I'm on a train

But there's no one at the helm

And there's a demon in my brain

It starts to overwhelm-whelm-whelm-whelm-whelm

And there it goes

My last chance for peace

You lay me down

But I get no release

And I say, I

I try to keep awake

I try to swim beneath

I try to keep awake

But I can feel this narcolepsy slide

Into another nightmare

And there's a demon in my head who starts to play

A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday

And I hold my breath 'till it's more than I can take

And I close my eyes, I dream that I'm awake

I try to keep awake

I try to keep awake

I try to keep awake

But I, I can feel this narcolepsy slide

Into another nightmare

I read dead Russian authors volumes at a time

I write everything down except what's on my mind

'Cause my greatest fear is the sucking sound

And then I know I'll never get back out

And there's a bone in my head that connects to a drink

In a crowded room where the glasses clink

And I'll buy you a beer and we'll drink it deep

Because that keeps me from falling asleep

I said, how'd you like to be alone and drowning?

How'd you like to be alone and drowning?

How'd you like to be alone and drowning?

How'd you like to be alone and drowning?

Still I find this narcolepsy slide, slide

Into another nightmare

Keep awake

Keep awake

Keep awake

And I can feel this narcolepsy slide
