When I get some sleep
I pray to God that I start dreaming
Because reality is a place
That I don't mind leaving
Stay away from me
Or I swear that I'll start screaming
Because my bough is breaking
And my cradle will fall
I awoke one night
On a cold dark distant highway
I was walking somewhere
Somehow sometime someday
I could not recall
The reason for my dismay
But my bough was breaking
Found a place to sleep
In a secluded forest basement
I was sleeping softly soundly
Then suddenly the floor went... (BOOM!)
A girl appeared
She was tattered and torn
But she was Heaven sent
I had a sudden feeling
That my cradle would fall, fall
Fall, fall
I tried to leave her there
I told myself that I would never forget
And soon enough I went back to her
But it was too late
She had left the basement
Then I found her living, breathing
She was wonderful, happy not grieving
But she could not
Forgive my abandonment
She'll be sorry
Self-inflicted punishment kills
((( the narrator )))
He should have waited
For the spaceship to come
To take him back to where
He ventured out from
A rescue mission
From the place of his birth
It came to save him
From the sadness on Earth
