- Lyrics: I make a lot of room And I take a lot of risk I done wasted a lot of time Now what’s yours once was mine I don’t count no sheep And this ain’t no rebel dream I been losing sleep From your well-crafted scheme I make a lot of room And I take a lot of risk I been losing sleep From your well-crafted scheme Tempt me with loyalty Test me, I’ll make you see Take me seriously Take me seriously

- Lyrics: What a waste of time And what a waste of money I’ve got mouths to feed Buildings and bridges and roads to build And I love you so, you know But you watch too many of them damn talk-shows

- Lyrics: I know you’re tired I’m tired too How can I make you understand? My daydreams are fading My appetite increasing And I love you, it’s true But a little change could do me and you I know you don’t like to dance And you really do take your time But there’s just one dance you gotta do If we’re gonna make it through When I’m half awake, you’re half asleep Resting beside me Time just seems to fly Resting beside me

about

As Baudelaire wrote of Modern Sleeping,

"...a great [album], frequently it is a terrifying one...it adds a more modern attitude, one that has been much sought after in the modern world; a love of the intangible, a feeling for violent contrasts and the terrifying phenomena of nature and strange human physiognomies..."

about

Modern Sleeping New York

Beats and pieces. Moody, but don't call it "downtempo." As Baudelaire wrote of Modern Sleeping, "...it is a modern attitude, one that has been much sought after in the modern world. I like to rock it at night."
