The finale for the SZNZ project, The Deep and Dreamless Sleep brings the story to a close, with the narrator growing old and looking back.
[Verse 1]
Now the phone has stopped ringing 'round the clock
They’ve forgotten me
And I realize that it’s dumb to try
So, I let them be
[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t make out words on the page
I get confused by all the rage
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-di, I’m slippin into
[Chorus]
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
The pill for all my pain
The cure for all my grief
The deep and dreamless sleep
[Verse 2]
Now the sun goes down and the flurries fall
On my lonely home
I can watch a play, read some Hemingway
But I probably won’t
[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t recall last Saturday
It’s hard to hear what people say
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-di, I’m slippin into
[Chorus]
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
The pill for all my pain
The cure for all my grief
The deep and dreamless sleep (Deep and dreamless sleep, deep and dreamless sleep)
[Bridge]
I remember you well
How you love the holidays
How you wrapped up the toys
And you left them on display
I remember our kiss
Underneath the mistletoe
How it all slipped away
And we had to let you go, ah-ah
[Chorus]
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
The pill for all my pain
The cure for all my grief
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
Woah-oh, woah-oh
[Outro]
Fall into the deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
