Spinal Tap

Everything was under water
Like, like solid water
Not like ice, but solid water, y'know?
None of this stuff was there
But you were there and
Not the type you can float in
They say steam is the worst type of burn
Under your head was a pillow
And under your pillow was a tooth
Under the tooth was a sheet
If I could change everything I’d be a leather maker
Under the sheet was a mattress
Under the mattress was the bed
Under the pillow
Under the bed was the floor
Under the floor was

And while you slept
Your brain got rinsed
Cerebrospinal fluids
Took out your trash
In a spirited slam dunk
Swooshing, clear and smoothing
It’s called your nervous system
Think of it as an interior cushion

Night time is the right time
To let your body do its thing
It’s gonna clean that shit up
It has a chance to take a chance on you
This is what dreaming's supposed to do
It has a chance to restore you
This is what dreaming's supposed to do
It's supposed to help you

Your held, a hand
A wet opportunist
Your held, a hand
When your mind did not mind
A wet opportunist
At rest at best
Your held, a hand
A wet opportunist
Your held, a hand
A wet opportunist
Your held, a hand
Weak and anaemic
It scrubs your insides
A wet opportunist
Like the inside of a car wash
Your held, a hand
This is why you sleep at night
A wet opportunist
Your held, a hand
And have weird dreams
A wet opportunist
What a thought to be
Your held, a hand
A wet opportunist
Pacified by your own pus
Your held, a hand
A wet opportunist
A wet opportunist
