Shake him for a day, see what falls awayTake what's left and kick the scraps awayHe drinks his gasoline, it sends him to his dreamsHis sticky life has been too sweetShe laughs him lullabies, to help him close his eyesHe never thinks he'll ever sleepHe twists inside his sheets, curled up at her feetA quiet mess that's warm and sweetShake him for a year, in spite of all his fearsI never thought he'd be so strangeHe lines them in a row, these things he's always knownTakеs his time and flicks them all awayShake him for a day, shakе him until he breaksTake what's left and kick the scraps awayHe drinks his gasoline, and finally gets to sleepHis silly life is incomplete
