Snider: The Lotus Eaters

Down the ward the men are dreaming

Drooling in their cots

Pricks of blood in every elbow

I am no better

It's jus that I'm awake

It's jus that I'm awake

It's jus that I'm awake and walking

Walking

Hear my footsteps down the hall

Now I'm smelling the night air

Crunching gravel as I walk, walk, walk

Never, never, never, never will I

Never will I sleep like that again

Never, never, never, never, never

Never will I sleep like that, sleep like that...

Sleep like that

And I'm lost in this night

I'm lost in this night

I'm already lost, but not as lost as them

And I'm lost in this night

I'm lost in this night

I'm already lost, but not as lost as them

My sleeping, drooling, smiling men

I'm not as lost

I'm not as lost

I'm not as lost as them

Never, never, never, never will I

Never will I sleep like that again

Never, never, never, never, never

Never will I sleep like that, sleep like that...

Sleep like that

And I'm lost in this night

I'm lost in this night

I'm already lost, but not as lost as them

And I'm lost in this night

I'm lost in this night

I'm already lost, but not as lost as them

And I'm lost in this night

I'm lost in this night

I'm already lost, but not as lost as them

And I'm lost in this night

I'm lost in this night

I'm already lost, but not as lost as them

And I'm lost in this night

I'm lost in this night

I'm already lost, but not as lost as them

And I'm lost in this night

I'm lost in this night

I'm already lost, but not as lost as them

My sleeping, drooling, sleeping, drooling

Sleeping, drooling men

I'm not as lost

I'm not as lost
