Sleep Now 03:46
You know that awesome stillness When the stars are in and the clouds are out Wind dims from a breeze into the calm Hear the rambling of the creek and your hands in your pocket For your the only waking creature Rustling in the night Instead of flies by your ears It's your own pulsing blood you hear For this brief moment in the dark This country rests, nothing stirs Land and sea and sky and beast Sleep now, for the dogs are soon to bark And now the setting illness As she doesn't speak and keeps on the light Beside her bed, gathered round and held her head No exchange, just hanging warmth and ceased breath For your the only waking creature Rustling in the night Instead of flies by your ears It's your own pulsing blood you hear For this brief moment in the dark This country rests, nothing stirs Land and sea and sky and beast Sleep now, for the dogs are soon to bark

Rabies ridden, black eyed babies Crawl amongst the circuitry Golden, bronze and silver horses Stained by little bloody knees Ice cream rains upon the reins The ride is soon to begin Parents call out helplessly Raccoons and children spin This ride is alive This ride is alive Raccoon, Raccoon Carousel, Carousel Raccoon, Raccoon Carousel, Carousel

Mock 1 02:54
Let's take a few down Runnin' reds through the town 'Cause we all gotta die So why not die while you drive. Woo! Go! I've got a need for speed Light speed greed I've got an ego feed The light's red - fuck it, it's green!
