Count Backwards

Counting backwards
To get to sleep
Or deep breathing
Or maybe sheep
Ambient music
Or Ambien pills
Hard to turn off
A day of cheap thrills

A cape and black tights
They'll make a cereal about me
Sleepy days and busy nights
I will set the psychos free

Hello restless leg
It's been a long time
Maybe last week
I think it's a sign
Too much of this
Or too little of that
Need a new therapist
Or maybe a cat

A cape and black tights
They'll make a cereal about me
Sleepy days and busy nights
I will set the psychos free
A cape and black tights
They'll make a cereal about me
Sleepy days and busy nights
I will set the psychos free

Call me Count Backwards
An appropriate name
Start from the finish
Is the name of the game
Then work your way backwards
To where it began
Deal with what you've hidden
And then buy that minivan

A cape and black tights
They'll make a cereal about me
Sleepy days and busy nights
I will set the psychos free
A cape and black tights
They'll make a cereal about me
Sleepy days and busy nights
I will set the psychos free
