Cadogan: “Narcolepsy” was about nightmares I was having, and I wrote down some ideas, played some chords… I was talking about this sleep post-paralysis where you’re awake, but your brain isn’t quite awake yet. It’s that feeling like you’re dying or suffocating. Stephan grew up in Palo Alto… none of...
[Intro: Stephan Jenkins]
I'm on a train
But there's no one at the helm
And there's a demon in my brain
Who starts to overwhelm whelm whelm whelm whelm
[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
And there it goes
My last chance for peace
You lay me down
But I get no release
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
And I say I, I try to keep awake
I try to swim beneath
I try to keep awake
But I, I can feel this narcolepsy slide
Into another nightmare
[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
And there's a demon in my head who starts to play
A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday
And I hold my breath till it's more than I can take
And I close my eyes, I dream that I'm awake
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
I try to keep awake
I try to keep awake
I try to keep awake
But I, I can feel this narcolepsy slide
Into another nightmare
[Guitar Solo: Kevin Cadogan]
[Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins]
I read dead Russian authors, volumes at a time
I write everything down except what's on my mind
'Cause my greatest fear is that sucking sound
And then I know that I'll never get back out
And there's a bone in my hand that connects to a drink
In a crowded room where the glasses clink
And I'll buy you a beer and we'll drink it deep
Because that keeps me from falling asleep I said
[Bridge: Stephan Jenkins]
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Still I find this narcolepsy slide, slide
Into another nightmare
[Outro: Stephan Jenkins]
Keep awake, keep awake, keep awake
I can feel this narcolepsy slide
