[Intro] [Verse 1] Counting the cracks in the wall and the colours of the duvet The shabby sheep in sleepy city in sleepy city on restless night Fountain of mantra dreams floating in suspense Suspended peace placed in pieces broken around the room [Chorus] The sleepy city cracks upon my wall Tell me stories all night long As my mind refuses to fall Into sleep’s sweet song [Link] [Verse 2] A broken cigarette rolls down the street finding freedom At home in the outskirts of the sleepy city The sleepy city rolls over unspoken grunts a groan Moaning for quiet quickly quit the noise sit silently [Chorus] The sleepy city cracks upon my wall Tell me stories all night long As my mind refuses to fall Into sleep’s sweet song [Solo] [Chorus] The sleepy city cracks upon my wall Tell me stories all night long As my mind refuses to fall Into sleep’s sweet song [Link] [Verse 3] We sit ticking our theories as clouds run over washing lines Crawling in shadows of society’s sleepy city Our sleepy city dripping with contempt unlit from the impatient knife Rife in bubbles of bloody bins counting our hours til the morning cracks [Chorus] The sleepy city cracks upon my wall Tell me stories all night long As my mind refuses to fall Into sleep’s sweet song [Outro]
