I wonder if you sleep right now Do you realize I'm clinging To the edge of this bed? I have nowhere to go, I have nowhere
If I leave, you'll call me quitter If I stay, you'll punish me with silence And somehow you'll fall asleep You'll fall asleep
Well, do you know that I won't sleep? No, I won't sleep all night long As your silhouette turns its back on my spoon I'm mesmerized by the ricochet moon
Leaping this leprechaun's wall I'm so disenchanting, intoxicated by my own tear's soul And come tomorrow, when my beauty is old Like a speckled princess I'll try to cash in clovers for gold
So I'll light a candle and begin to write Turn to my work as refuge Though my womb is a rush hour taxi ride But I will try to metamorphose pain along my plight
But I'll despise each word I write So I am clinging to the edge like some soap opera star With her ten second fade as the light cascades Do you love me anymore?
Well, do you know that I won't sleep? No, I won't sleep all night long As your silhouette turns its back on my spoon I'm mesmerized by the ricochet moon
Leaping this Rumplestiltskin's wall I'm so disenchanting, intoxicated by my own tear's soul And come tomorrow, when my beauty is old Like a speckled princess I'll try to cash in clovers for gold
I'll try to spin straw into gold Straw into gold, straw into gold, straw into gold Spinning for mercy, spinning for hope Spinning for love, spinning for gold
