A TOUR OF SLUMBER
And I gaze into the sky and capture moonshine for my meat.
And I conjure forty men on a platter at my feet.
And I sip Mother Nature in a cold champagne glass.
And I recline on a billowy ocean made of grass.
I found a rocket ship that took me to the stars.
And then I hitched a ride on a kayak to Mars.
A bucking bronco sunbeam brought me home a week ago.
And threw me off its back into a jar of vertigo.
I made a dress of petals using cobwebs as thread.
Then I made a dinosaur and jumped into its head.
And through its eyes I saw so many wondrous things.
Then I took a holiday in the Valley of the Kings.
And I see Ozymandias half sunk in grit and sand.
And I climb a spiral staircase into the Promised Land.
And Isis screams above me, and Osiris screams below.
And they raise the velvet curtain for the final show.
An albatross is wounded, it can't walk or stand upright.
And the noose around my neck is getting very tight.
So I swam the English Channel just to prove that they were wrong.
And I fought a hundred ninjas for the sake of being strong.
And today I think I'd like to be somebody's friend.
That's one thing I can do without having to pretend.
And later I'll go walking in a land of plasticine.
Because I can do anything at all in my dreams.

Let the cherries all be Bings
