Vital Signs from the album Sleep Is For The Weak

This country is my canvas --

I leave paint trails as I go.

I'm painting a picture

That you can only see from outer space.

My bedroom is your sofa,

I take my breakfast on the train.

I'm tired and I'm dirty, and not a second goes to waste.

I'll be dead but never dying, and I say that with a smile

It's just my way of trying to be alive.

Well I'll never get to grey hair

And I'll never be in the black,

But I can tell stories that most can hardly dream.

Dreaming is a luxury,

Like stopping-staring and beauty sleep.

I'll stop when I'm finished,

And sleep is for the weak.

Heaven's in the half-light, and that's where I reside,

A whiskey and a wry smile --

I check my vital signs.

And when I'm gone,

The worlds revolve, and life goes on,

So mark no grave,

Forget my name.

If the song remains

And everybody's got a drink and a smile,

Well, that's just fine by me.

Next song will be...

Romantic Fatigue

I heard a station playing his song 'Recovery' not too long ago, and after hearing this, I can't believe I'm just now hearing this artist. Thank you for the post, really, really beautiful song.
