[INSTRUMENTAL] [technical accordion + tympani] [Verse 1] The ceiling stares It knows my name A clock ticks loud It plays its game The blanket's warm but my mind's cold These thoughts are stories left untold [Pre-Chorus] Thoughts of her snuggled warm in bed Her sleeping tight rolls through my head [Chorus] Counting sheep They jump too slow One by one The night won't go Close my eyes But they just peep When will I fall When will I sleep [Verse 2] The moonlight paints the walls in gray It whispers secrets Fades away The pillow bends It takes my side But still my dreams are in disguise [Pre-Chorus] Dreams trade with steep commission Sleep so distant an endless mission [Chorus] Counting sheep They jump too slow One by one The night won't go Close my eyes But they just peep When will I fall When will I sleep [Verse 3 - Male Vocals, Deliver The Story In Jagged Phrases And Broken Breaths] Humpty Dumpty Sitting on a wall Once upon a time Tried it all, it all Brain won’t stop Bubbling the next thing to the top [Bridge – accordion instrumental + gospel choir whispers] Tried a story Tried a song Tried to drift but thoughts went wrong Tried the dark Tried the light Still I'm stuck in this endless night [Solo – haunting accordion, Pounding Percussion, gospel choir harmonies] [Final Chorus] Counting sheep They jump too slow One by one The night won't go Close my eyes But they just peep When will I fall Ahhhh some sleep [OUTRO – fading gospel choir, Sudden Percussion Bursts, accordion slows to an end and falls to the ground]
