Mostly Asleep - Colour Bomb

Stop, I know who you are,

I’ve seen you before

Do you know my son?

He’s at war

Back when I was your age,

The sky was a stage

Now all the giant birds are circling

Because I’m a faulty bag of thoughts and mostly asleep

I’m a used car salesman,

It’s 1980

I’m a cold walk up a river bed,

I’m in and out of my own head

I’m a young man in a skeleton and mostly asleep

Shut the window again,

The weather is grim

And the cold will ache my bones

Leave the radio on,

So I can believe

Your mother might appear to sing along

Because I’m a faulty bag of thoughts and mostly asleep

I’m a used car salesman,

It’s 1980

I’m a cold walk up a river bed,

I’m in and out of my own head

I’m a young man in a skeleton and mostly asleep

The sickness of age cuts lines in my face

Just payment for time I’ve borrowed

The years all but fade,

Erasing the tape

And leaving a bed of sorrow
