Sleeping In Traffic - Beardfish Waking up in panic A room not hot or cold Afraid to fall asleep again My other side will unfold I am on the edge of sanity Far out in a hazy troubled dream I've scored the morning A crimson red thought Someone is struggling With the battles I've fought Sleeping in the traffic Red lights turn to green Blinding painted white lines Moving in between I am on the edge of sanity Far out in a hazy troubled dream Time and time over It's always the same Reckon you know me Are you playing my game Me is my own worst enemy Me is my own worst enemy In a room of frantic fools Waiting for a juicy blues I present my guitar song Scratching strings with tones too long They see me with tired eyes Hidden coughs he's full of lies Cigarette smoke and black tar stains Darkness feasts on my remains Please save me Please save me Out of darkness into light Still there's no salvation in sight Seven wishes what's the first Seven wishes quench your blood thirst Killing has no consequence In a world that makes no sense Blow the brain that brought this up Blow the brain that thought this up Please save me Please save me Lady in the doorway With a face that's so kind Caressing smells Twisting my mind Magical evening and She's got the glow And though she's got it all She's giving it away She's giving it away Her eyes begin to glow In the semi dark room I move close and close my eyes And welcome her lips to mine She takes of her clothes Let's them slide down her hips Her body is glowing And she's giving it away She's giving it away In the bed I lie awake There's one road for me to take I must leave while there's still time To find out this truth of mine Sleep I'm only sleeping Notice that my eyes are open Run what am I running from The demons they can't catch me while I'm travelling Dark dark dark darkness Fill me up and set me free Sea I smell ocean air Sleeping in the presence of seagulls In the misty morning fog the dock lies clear Salty smell of coral reeves appears this time of year From the depths of mother earth he comes again It's captain flurry and his henchmen In spite of his old crooked back and generous age The beard the pipe his rusty sword he's a cleptomanic sage man He knows the difference to what we call right or wrong And the hench men sing in their old song Har har we have sailed far From norway to peru Whatever captain flurry says You must believe it is true Har har we have sailed far From norway to peru Whatever captain flurry says You must believe it is true Har har we have sailed far From norway to peru Whatever captain flurry says You must believe it is true Har har we have sailed far From norway to peru Whatever captain flurry says You must believe it is true He says that well you know snow covers the igloos He tells me it's hot and dry in the sahara desert The kings and queens has got it in for us And I just missed the bus I'm running away now away from pirates and seagulls and the dock of the bay Reaching sweet perfumed city streets Scented by gasoline and neon lights in sweet cooperation A guy wells hey but I can't stop 'cause the rhythm Has got me by the balls So to say I'm sneaking into the backstreets and some sleazy 70's disco club Disco club disco club disco club The ceiling is a sky of bright shining disco lights There's bee gees on the gramophone they're singing ha ha ha ha Staying alive oh please make me take me through the night But the laughter from her is an ocean of sleep to my restless soul Tension leaves by her embrace and her breasts are warm not cold They're not cold they're not cold at all In reflection of some slim shade goggles I decide to ease my stoned head A punk stands in my freeway line Taking up my precious time His hair is dyed in the colour blue Purple green and yellow too Hello dolly on his lips And dixieland groove in his hips He won't crack a smile for me Won't be calm he can't be see My arm is on the shoulder of The woman his dream's dependent on I have touched her deep inside Well have I says I I'm just passing by Says he'll send me straight to hell To teach me my lesson well
