Time to retreat into dream
Time to leave the world I've seen
Time to lose myself in dream
Perish the thought of awakening

Because they lie
And they cheat
And they steal
Steal from me
Because they tread
And they spit
And they shit
Shit on me

(I close my eyes)

Pretending dead in my sleep
Praying for my mind to keep
Kill the sandman hear him weep
Subconscious longing for eternal sleep
Half way between here and there
Knowing now they don't care
No one said life was fair
So I fade away...

Fade away out of sight
Shooting spirals casting light
Jellied creatures watch them flight
But the sun will never rise
half way between here and there
Knowing now they don't care
No one said life was fair
