Sleepwalking

I awoke in a sinking Manhattan
I played in drunken cathedrals
There were businessmen in armchairs
With namebrands and short hair
Detonating with evil
So I scratched out the eyes of all my past lives
And gathered my crooked flowers
The gardener grins as the toothache begins
And the angels sing free from the towers
Can't stop this sleepwalking
Can't stop my mind
Holy laughter in the river with Ginsey

I saw John in heaven dancing with Buddha
Dropping pennies of X on the genXers heads
Singing couldawouldashoulda
In my dreams I've seen things naked and puzzled
My future fluorescent and dark
And my spies realize that my hope's euthanized
By the paranoid ape in my heart
Can't stop this sleepwalking
Can't stop my mind from talking
The prisoner in my head
Scares me to death
