Folk Insomnia
There's rumbling in the head againInside the head there lived a brainInside the brain there lived a dreamThat shot 'round like a laser beamAlong nerve endings and synapsesPast the room for memory lapsesBought about by alcoholThat causes all the cell colapsesNow, that dream's not the only oneI had plenty more when I was youngBut I grew up in a big hurryAnd then one day I start to worry that I'm gonna be a gonner before I read all the books I wannaIf I plant a tree now it'll be fully grown Long after I'm just dust and bone andNow I can't sleep, it's already 3 AMAnd i'm lying here dividing sheep by the square root of tenSo I gave away my clothes to charityI turned off my TV for clarityBut somedays I still envy those Walking around wearing my clothesSo i'll just plant a tree i'll never see growPut a seed in the ground where no one'll knowLetras de cancionesGonna make my plan when the morning breaksBut i'm just don't know how long it'll takeI keep hearing voices and ringing phonesBut i'm staring down a highway all aloneWith just the company of my stomache rumbleBut I feel OK, it makes me humbleWithout a load that I must carry Or a bump in the road to make to tarryJust a pile of ashes from the miles i've burned and everything i've learnedWhat have I learned?Don't walk in front of cars or behind horsesCats don't drink milk out of flying saucersGreen means go Yellow: go fasterRed means stop, A financial disasterAnd don't ever underestimate the fitness of a determined Jehovas witnessAnd don't ever take for granted what grew from every kiss you plantedIf a heart can break then a heart can feelIt's to know that you're alive and realNot a rattle and bounce in a little white ballNot a number on a roulette wheelAnd hair it turns grey and skin it turns to leatherBut the best thing about growing old is we all do it togetherSo i'll just plant a tree i'll never see growPut a seed in the ground where no one'll knowGonna make my plan when the morning breaksBut i'm just don't know how long it'll takeThey say that a love that's shared is a love that's carriedAll the way to the church where you'll be marriedAnd it's a long long way from isle to alter and you don't have the time to falterLove will always come and go I hopeBut sometimes love goes up in smokeAnd you're left there with the greedy ghostAnd just when you need them mostSome of your friends have disappearedAnd others sterted acting weirdAnd you laying in your bed with an awful feeling Till you've learnt by heart all the cracks in the ceailingAnd you think 'Oh god I just related to that awful love song I always hated'And the past it all becomes distorted like it was broke before you bought itRemember, you're the one who paidPull the pin out of the hand grenadeIt's up to you to leave your roomBut don't forget to bring your spadeSo you can plant a tree you'll never see growPut a seed in the ground where no one'll knowGonna make my plan forever to roamGonna feed my nan in the nursing homeGonna make that plan when the morning breaks But I just don't know how long that'll take From Letras Mania
