Technicolor Sheep

Drowsy? No I wish...
Wish that I could float
Wish that I could drift away
Make it seem remote

It's not my self-esteem
That's painted me this frown
It's not the way you see me
That leaves me upside down

It's the way I ponder everything
And never let it go
Spin events irrelevant
Down that drainpipe slow

Crazy in a good way?
I hope that's what they see
I hope it's entertaining
'Cause it's the death of me

I don't need some Quaaludes
I need some peace of mind
An ear if you could lend it
That would be just fine

I need sleep - REM sleep
Lighter 'cause it's all too deep
Stop this mindless mental sweep
And dream some technicolor sheep
