Little man, oh little man
are you yet done?
Alex is whispering, Gabriel is in the swing
The deep dark night is too short, the day comes much too soon
what will you do, what will you do?
I must be sleep walking, or brain-damaged,
a hole in my head,
to try to get in, ever-knocking,
and to still live, to still live...
I must be sleep walking,
pretty pictures roll in my head,
a golden crown, a pretty wife,
a drowning man with a perfect...
night life
Oh, little man, little man
what have you done?
Will a thousand car crashes
leave you shaking, but not stunned?
No needles, no unpaid bills
no violations, no real thrills
a good love, a good life
a dozen roses for the wife
I must be sleep walking, or brain-damaged
a hole in my head
to try to get in, ever-knocking
and to still live, to still live
I must be sleep walking,
pretty pictures roll in my head
a golden crown, a pretty wife,
a drowning man with a perfect...
life!
Hey, all you "imaginary friends" in the sky,
Can you tell me where and when I crossed the line?
I want that flat field and the golden echo of summer life
Shake my self free from my self, before I die
before I die
