I'm not sleepy and there ain't
In the jingle -jangle morning
Though I know that evening's empire
left me blindly here to stand,
and the ancient empty streets
and there ain't no place I'm going to
In the jingle jangle mornin'
upon your magic swirling ship
My senses have been stripped,
my hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step,
wait only for my boot heels
I'm ready to go anywhere,
cast your dance and spell my way
I'm not sleepy and there ain't
In the jingle jangle morning
Though you might hear laughing,
singing madly through the sun,
it's not aimed at anyone.
It's just escaping on the run,
And if you hear vague traces
of skipping reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time,
I wouldn't pay it any mind
It's just a ragged, crawly high
And if to you he looks blind,
It's just the shadow of the
singing that he's chasing
I'm not sleepy and there ain't
In the jingle jangle morning
