Long Beach Shortbus

Well every man needs to get a little sleep
We all need sanctuary from the trouble on the street
Working hard and making money
But I rather be dreaming underneath the shady tree
And it's six in the morning
I've been up all night
Can't stop the wheels a turning
And I'm fearing delight
I'm so spun out but I think I know what we could do
I'm exploding with ideas but I can't call you
(Oh Lord)
I hear people in the tree
I'm going on a mission, unlock my ten-speed
(Oh Lord)
I hear the place is hot and swarming with police
There's a man on the corner with his camera on me
Well I'd do anything to get a little rest
I think a nightmare would be better than this
I think a nightmare would be better than this
There's a house that says "haunted" up the street
The last family that moved in evacuated in a week
That voodoo lady always got to me
But I'm searching for a spirit desperate for company
And it's six in the morning
I've been up all night
And I'm tossing and a turning
And I'm fearing delight
I'm so spun out but I think I know what we should do
I'm exploding with ideas and I can't call you
(Oh Lord)
I hear people in the tree
I got to take the world on a mission with me
(Oh Lord)
I had a close brush with forty-eyed destiny
And I hope that you're looking and you see right through me
Well I'd do anything to get a little rest
I think a nightmare would be better than this
I think a nightmare would be better than this
I think a nightmare would be better than this
