Asleep in the Sun

You know that I like it
So leave me alone
Remember your Utopia
Is my field of bone
I’m building a palace
Out of my mind
From your hollow world
I have resigned
Ticker tape peep shows
Of which I’m done
Please do not mind me I’m
Asleep in the sun

Nine-to-five dance numbers
Are all through
The still swimming salesmen
I leave to you
Invoice mount Fuji
Don’t grow no more
A thousand bloated whales are
Beached on the shore
Sunshine preachers are now
All on the run
Please don’t disturb me I’m
Asleep in the sun

Killing for an endless peace
Death made for life
Taking the whole world and
Make her my wife
And in the graveyard rolls
The sword of old
Rusted and long replaced
With shotguns of gold
And Philoctetes’
Work is done
I wouldn’t know I’m
Asleep in the sun

A paper tower is standing
Outside my door
And in the library’s keep
Plato wants more
Zarathustra is sleeping
Back in his cave
Cooked snake and eagle is
Everyone’s fave
The radio is now a
Prophet of fun
But I can’t hear it I’m
Asleep in the sun

The patriots are fishing
Melee in the streets
Mecca stadium has
Run out of seats
The cross is sculpted on
Ev’ry porn store
A monk in his abbot lies
Drunk on the floor
Jesus and Mohammad
Are both shunned
They are with me
Asleep in the sun

Knives are happy and
Taped to the bed
Mass produced words are
Made out of lead
It seems like the jackal
Made a profit
While every great lion’s
Catch is forfeit
Flowers are grown and
Sold by the ton
I can’t smell them for I’m
Asleep in the sun

A moonlit serenade
Is on a disc
Now that everything lovely
Comes with out risk
Mercenary’s are now
An extinct race
Honorable sellout have
Taken their place
And no more fun for money
But money for fun
I don’t need either I’m
Asleep in the sun

I built myself lonely
On a plateau
Now that I’m different I’m
Everyone’s foe
Handles are hunting heads
Please run and hide
Offering solace from life
and a free ride
Demographics have skewed
Most is now some
But they don’t count me
Asleep in the sun

The fishermen all give
Nero a wave
Now that Machiavelli
Needs to be saved
The winery is selling to
Non-alcoholics
Drunk on their numbness and
Empty tonics
Cinderella is everywhere
6 billion have won
and all of the rest are
Asleep in the sun

Heaven is over earth
Hell over all
Aquinas and hume
Both are now small
Reason is now loved
Faith is adored
both are uncommon so
Common I’m bored
The summer time soldier
Is everyone
Except for the people
Asleep in the sun

Dollar bill book pages
Sit on the shelf
Everyone is eating
Everyone’s self
Oceans of yellow marigold wave
Crash on the shore
I seems that Babylon
Just lost it’s *****
My friends are all bored now
That fighting’s no fun
But that’s okay I’m
Asleep in the sun

Introvert wasteland stands
Happy for miles
Beautiful quick sand is
Made out of smiles
Walls of pure word cud
Arms around me
Electronic eloquence
Sword by the sea
A minds inner meaning written by
Solitude’s son
I’m lying there happy
Asleep in the sun
