I'm going outside

To sleep in the alley

Under the stars and the moon

And that one street lamp that buzzes and flickers.

I'll dream in realtime

To the sounds of cats on the prowl,

Making love and banging around in the trash.

I've kicked my covers off,

And my nude body

Soaks in the wattage from the moon.

I'll rise and float to my feet

And sleepwalk right down the middle of the alley

Out and around to the street.

I've been arrested before 

For dancing naked in my sleep

Around the pole that holds that street lamp

That buzzes and flickers

At the end of the alley,

Dreaming it was you.

I'm going out to sleep in the alley.

You coming?
