Sleeptalking

Keep talking,
I’m listening
like a deer caught in your brights
(so this is where they go on the highways at night;
So far from the body
So near danger and the mundane
Floating like the low lying clouds
Just above the terrain.
I know I should float back down
But the truth is that I can’t complain.

Lately I’ve been sleep talking with a stranger on the phone
Late night, sipping something stiff, trying to hum the dial tone.
Baby it’s easy
when you’re not the only one
Baby it’s easy
To never get anything done

I just can’t
can’t shake it
The feeling when I get home
All day I’ve been so lonely
Now I’m finally alone.
We’ll never admit it
But maybe I’m a lot like you:
We’re just a couple of aliens
Undercover, with nothing to do.
People that make me feel human
Are so very far and so few.

Lately I’ve been sleep talking with a stranger on the phone
Late night, sipping something stiff, trying to hum the dial tone.
Baby it’s easy
when you’re not the only one
Baby it’s easy
To never get anything done.
