lyrics

Tick tock goes the clock on the wall
Big Ben strikes but I snooze through it all
The phone rings to no avail
The train leaves the station while I’m in bed
Eyelids full of lead

I’m long, long gone to a place in the sun
Under a tree, lying in the shade
Listening to the birds and the bees
While Morpheus keeps watch over me

Tick tock goes the second hand motion
Counterclockwise in a perfect trick of the eye
I swear I’m turning back time
In plain sight of everyone young and old
Eyelids filled with gold

My ship has sailed to an isle in the sun
I’m under a tree lying in the shade
Listening to the birds and the bees
While Morpheus keeps watch over me

Hello, Hello sweet merchants of sand
I’ve come to lay claim, stake my domain
If slumber’s your trade then I’m your man
Fill me up with your golden sand

Hello, Hello elixir of youth
I’ve come for a swim in your primal soup
Mingle with the birds and the bees
While Morpheus keeps watch over me

Hello, Hello sweet merchants of sand
I’ve come to lay claim, stake my domain
If slumber’s your trade then I’m your man
Fill me up with your golden sand
