Stand straight, fall back in line Comb your hair, get to work on time Everyone in the big machine Tries to break your heart, pull you underneath Maybe I’m wrong and all that you get is what you see Maybe I’m right and there’s something out there to believe Everybody’s talking in their sleep They push a lot of air around, but don’t say much of anything Except when they’re laughing, like some ghosts under a sheet Everybody’s talking in their sleep ---

Overhead the albatross Hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine. And no one shall disturb the land And no one knows the where’s or why’s. As something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light. ---
