Mr. Sunshine

Mr. Sunshine draws the blind
To keep the laughing voices out
His angry eyes can't bear the sound
This day is made for sleeping.

Don't wake Mr. Sunshine
He hasn't slept a wink
Don't wake Mr. Sunshine
He hasn't had a drink.

Darkness fills the empty space
Where nightmares shout into the room
His ruined mind no longer plans
A day that's made for sleeping.

Don't wake Mr. Sunshine
He hasn't had a drink
Don't wake Mr. Sunshine
He isn't who you think.

Television's flickered light
Escapes into polluted air
His eyes roll back into his head
A head that's made for sleeping.

Don't wake Mr. Sunshine
He isn't who you think
Don't wake Mr. Sunshine
He's drowning in your sink.

Static from the radio
Invokes the special phrase again
His shadow leaves no mark upon
A world that's made for sleeping.

  1. Whether or not a shadow leaves a mark -- what a great concept!
