Goodnight - Lyrics by Pulp


Lyrics
"
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz" Now it's coming to the end of the evening. The time whenthe celing sways and objects jerk out of place. Your eyelids heavy, youmake your way down the yellow streets past rows and tows of houses;curtains drawn tight against the cold night air. To a flight of startswhich lead to a room where a bed is waiting for you to lie down - perhapsalone, perhaps not - and go to sleep again. They wait alone in unusedrooms they sit and they remember. Oh please remember. So you lie on yourback in the dark and hear the blood rushing in your ears and the soft"tick, tick, tick" of your watch against the matress spraing, patternsmerge behind your eyes, purple and green glowing gently and all is softwith rfurry darkness. You yawn once, turn on your side and fall to sleepagain. They wait alone. They batched your eyes when nights were cold.
Remember oh please remember there's something you've forgotten. When youawake later that night the bedroom was cold and you were along. Alone andafriad of the dark, watching, waiting, as you lie on your back, nakedbeneath the cold sheets; not dead just sleeping. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
