So long my misery I don't need you, you've only caused me grief Forgive me if I fall asleep I haven't slept in centuries Daylight lives like a burden for me So I escape the sins strewn about the streets Beyond the ruins of my ancestry Five pairs of pages of my disbelief I rose from my moat like a ghost from a grave Sunken in the salty eyes of the wandering into space I was heading though the mists across the Golden Gate All of my rebellions fall in to the falling fate So long my misery I don't need you, you have only caused me grief Forgive me if I fall asleep I haven't slept in centuries Springtime came again and it caressed and fell I flew past the numb lib nuns who never tell The secrets of the sailors and their seven years spell I will not fall, nor will my wings ever melt If I could, I would wash all these wounds away I would surround your room with a sinner mans grace I would paint your portrait over everything mundane More colorful than Easter Sunday So long my misery I don't need you, you have only caused me grief Forgive me if I fall asleep I haven't slept in centuries Put me on a boat and lead my inhibitions at bay My mind is spinning but I haven't much to say I was running through the canyons The echoes of your name You were laughing at me like the sun laughs at the flames Put me on a page in a book of beginnings Let me scroll through old volumes of age and teachings Let me revel all of these forgotten feelings Lay me with the wretches in the arms of my queen So long sweet misery I don't need you, you've only caused me grief Forgive me if I fall asleep I haven't slept in centuries So long sweet misery I don't need you, you've only caused me grief Forgive me if I fall asleep I haven't slept in centuries No, I haven't slept in centuries I haven't slept in centuries
