Half Of Once

I've been trying to sleep forever
Slipping in and out of the daylight
Coming in to my own
Falling apart
Laying on a hardwood floor
Watching a whistling maid
She was
Dusting the ceiling fan
That spun with the breeze
The windows bent inwards
Our house caved in
Put me right out
Tiny men in the jukebox were playing a song
I knew all the notes so I would sing along
There was a yellow dog he would sit in the sand and smile
The tip of his tail was white
And he had six toes
And he wouldn’t shake hands
Little kids swimming in the beach
Making up songs about drowning
My hands were cold so I put them in a bar
But I fell in and went right through
The drop didn't take long
Before I landed in the air above a sailboat
The men looked at me with a simulated surprise
Somehow they knew I've been there right then
I tried to say a few words but nothing came to mind
Their blank stares returned to bored looks
I could see a cars headlights coming up through the water
I got into the chase was on
But the drivers seat was empty
I took the wheel
It turn to dusk
Lock the doors
Just close my eyes
