My Snores Are Violent
Read to the tune ("The Sounds of Silence") by Simon & Garfunkel
Hello nighttime my old friend, the sun is setting once again
Because the darkness is slowly creeping
I start to snore and the wife is steaming
I counted ten thousand sheep maybe more
The dream in my brain
Still remains
My snores are violent
I wish I could sleep alone, no TV or cell phone
The wife won't turn off that burning light
My eyes feel like they've been stabbed
No chance of sleeping now
The dream in my brain
Still remains
My snores are violent
The wife is talking and speaking, I hear her but I'm not listening
Fool, your snoring makes my anger grow,
Hear my words that I might slap you, take my arms that I might choke you
No chance of sleeping now
The dream in my brain
Still remains
My snores are violent
The wife shouted words of warning, from the mouth she was foaming
Her shout bounced off the walls, and down the hall
She bowed her head and prayed
Whispered the sounds of silence
The dreams in my brain
Still remains
My snores are violent
