Five days a week, I wake up stuck And fall back asleep where I started from Can you really "slip" into bed alone? [Yo yo yo man kill that, kill that man] [Yo, Jel, why the hell you stoppin' me man?] [You need to kick that shit you was droppin' a couple of months ago, man] [Oh like that?] [Yeah] [Check it out] Lead a man to the altar Never make him kneel I lead 'em to the club Remind 'em how to feel Son of a one-time new age healer And a door-to-door Book of the Dead dealer Who would've thought The dancefloor packed by a guy Who can't even recall his dreams Woo-ha! Toss and Turn Yeah-ha! Toss and Turn Teachers Do the Toss and Turn Last Indians Do the Toss and Turn Step-moms Do the Toss and Turn Exes Do the Toss and Turn Day traders Do the Toss and Turn Zapatistas Do the Toss and Turn Widows Do the Toss and Turn Everybody Do the Toss and Turn Hold up, there's been a strike at the dream plant Seems they're demanding a new routine Until then I'll lie alone, toss and turn Like a broken wing An Oakland wind in a 'Frisco fog When a neutral sun in the city beams God made all my mornings on A secondhand Hollywood smoke machine A poor man's fall, an East Bay spring Sometimes in life the set writes the scene And if you've ever helped your girl Move out of your house Then you know what I mean The watch-dogs knell, the bus brakes wail They turn Oakland on at 7 A.M. every morning And then off again at twelve What can it mean when the walls read: "R.I.P. Dream" Nervous... breakdown! This is how you do the Toss and Turn Ha! Uncross your arms, - Ha-ha-ha! - uncross your legs Now turn on your side, and now the other side Uncross your arms, uncross your legs There's nothing more pointless than a pile of crosses Give it to me now! Show me my discography and I'll sign the apology A follower and his bedroom pens Led by chance and sedatives Tear me down, then build me again In a world with less to lose in the end You might call it some type of faith withdraw As fade-ways therapy happens to involve Watching headlights break up bits Of peeling paint on a borrowed wall Me and a futon? A two-ply fault line Now that's a thought to snap the spine of a pillow Poet's wife? Huh. Where though? Waiting outside in line of tomorrows? Tying a night's worth of sheets from the window- Trying to break out the blanketed barrow- Ain't no way to find a why to wake up These days I make up as I go along But all that I meet are mouthing same things Like they know the song, like it's always on; Laugh track in the can and they laugh along Like our lives are lines out of failed sitcoms Cold lampin' lightless in my private dark And if dark don't rhyme, we'll make it black I hold a face the way a pane of glass On a store holds those in cars that pass Toss and turn 'till my skin falls away In folds, holding my own face flat Keep a keg of sleeping pills on tap And do the dance till my shit collapse
