Get Your Sleep

Coming down from the mountainside
I know, I know I got a bit skinny
What I learned on the mountainside
The good news isn't all good today

Listen close 'cause I know
I've seen some things I couldn't agree to
I'll tell you how it's going to be
Open wide like your very first Sunday

Think a bit more how you spend your days
Lift your head and it'll be okay
If it seems hard, you shouldn't mind

Come get your sleep, come on
Come get your sleep, come on
Come get your sleep, come on
Get your sleep, come on

Cast loose and switch off your noise
All you precious little girls and boys
Come down and come greet the land
From sunup on, it's your very own Eden

Look hard, stay true
You know, you know we will never betray you
Throw down to break through
I know, I know you're all that we made you

Net the bright fish and till the dark soil
Roll on through all your everyday toil
If it seems hard, you shouldn't mind

Come get your sleep, come on
Come get your sleep, come on
Come get your sleep, come on
Get your sleep, come on

I wish I knew some people so I could get out of the rain
Find something to eat and some place to sleep
I am more and more sure no one's heard a word

I am beginning to see all the things no one sees
Can't step back that far, can't wind down that slow
Can't zoom in that close or turn down that low

When at night, the hand came down
All the heroes decided they'd move on
Some frozen and the rest aflame
Just as well you forget my name

If your memory don't tip your hand
Do as you please, it's the last you'll be playing
Cast loose and switch off your noise
All you precious little girls and boys

Wait out the sun 'til you watch it rise
Any long night, it turns the past alive
If it seems hard, you shouldn't mind

Come get your sleep, come on
Come get your sleep, come on
Come get your sleep, come on
Get your sleep, come on
