To to retreat into dream Time to leave the world I've seen Time to lose myself in dream Perish the thought of awakening Because they lie And they cheat And they steal Steal from me Because they tread And they spit And they shit Shit on me (I close my eyes) Pretending dead in my sleep Praying for my mind to keep Kill the sandman hear him weep Subconscious longing for eternal sleep Half way between here and there Knowing now they don't care No one said life was fair So I fade away... Fade away out of sight Shooting spirals casting light Jellied creatures watch them flight But the sun will never rise Half way between here and there Knowing now they don't care No one said life was fair
