Cassiopeia |
| Feel the mattress tense beneath me |
| Like the muscle of nonsleepy |
| Feathers flexing will defeat me |
| And it vexes me completely |
| And the hexes heat covertly |
| Like a slow low-flying turkey |
| Like a Texan drying jerky |
| But his meaty mitts can’t hurt me |
| With my steely will compounded |
| In a mighty mound that’s hounded |
| By the snap your steel string sounded |
| Just before your snores unwound it |
| And in store are dreams so daring |
| That the night can’t stop from staring |
| I’ll swim sweetly as a herring |
| Through the ether, not despairing |
| Go to sleep, you stunning sky |
| Gently creep cunning by |
| A quiet hum is amplified |
| By your thumb |
| That you suck dry |
| Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh |
| Hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopeia |
| Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh |
| Hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopeia |
| Cassiopeia, Cassiopeia |
| Oh oh, Cassiopeia |
