American Sleep

Mistress of ices
Stygian skater
Scribing devices
Dancing on sabres
So very relentless
Counting the sheep
Electrical fences
Americans leap

Paramorpheus somnambulating
Dream scarabaeus
In chorus refraining
So very relentless
Counting the sheep
Electrical fences
Americans leap

One, two, fisherman's stew
Boiled on timber and stirred with a broom
Three, four, pour it on the floor
Feed all the beasties, cook up some more
Five, six, mortar and brick
Weaker than iron but stronger than sticks
Seven and eight, lock up the gate
Nothing to do but to sit and to wait
Nine, ten do it again
Bun in the oven, a wolf in the den

Companion chimera
Lethean grazer
Pausing to herald
Mistress of sabres
So very relentless
Counting the sheep
Electrical fences
Americans leap
