“don’t feel bad,” she said in a stage whisper
this is how it ends with Sleep’s older sister
what have I done to bring this upon me?
dreaming’s so expensive now

hi ho, hi ho, across the river we go
cover your eyes, don’t act surprised
hi ho, hi ho, into the canyon we go
the ruts in the road won’t guide us back home

hand in hand we go without emotion
sing into the silence
sing into the echo
one last round on the claw machine
putting back the fourth wall now

hi ho, hi ho, across the river we go
cover your eyes, don’t act surprised
hi ho, hi ho, into the canyon we go
the ruts in the road won’t guide us back home
