Watch Me Sleep
Jill Sobule, Elise Thoron
Watch me sleep, behind my eyes
What you see is no surprise
Cool gray matter, cool gray air
It's all there, there's nothing there
Watch me dream
What can you see?
The chemicals in me
Watch my hands, observe my fall
Empty hands, hands that crawl
Over skin, grabbing air
There's nothing there, there's nothing there
Watch my head
So filled with pain
I'm looking for a drain
Looking for a drain
Pull a stopper, set me free
All the nothing you can't see
A spot that's there, barely there
I can't explain, I can't explain
Watch me sleep
What can you see?
The chemicals in me
There's a neuron
Blue as sky
And it won't die
It won't die
I can't explain
