An Illustration Of Loneliness (Sleepless In New York)

An Illustration Of Loneliness (Sleepless In New York) Lyrics

An Illustration Of Loneliness (Sleepless In New York) Song Lyrics


I lay awake at four, staring at the wall
Counting all the cracks backwards in my best French
Reminds me of a book I skim-read in a surgery
All about palmistry, I wonder what's in store for me
I pretend the plaster is the skin on my palms
And the cracks are representative of what is going on
I lose a breath... my love-line seems intertwined with death

I'm thinking of you too

I lay awake at three, staring at the ceiling
It's a kind of off-white, maybe it's a cream
There's oily residue seeping from the kitchen
It's art-deco necromantic chic, all the dinner plates are kitsch with
Irish Wolf Hounds, French baguettes wrapped loose around their necks
I think I'm hungry, I'm thinking of you too

I'm thinking of you too
I'm thinking of you too
I'm thinking of you too
I'm thinking of you too

Wondering what you're doing, what you're listening to
Which quarter of the moon you're viewing from your bedroom
Watching all the movies, drinking all the smoothies
Swimming at the pool, I'm thinking of you too

I'm thinking of you too
I'm thinking of you too
I'm thinking of you too
I'm thinking of you too
I'm thinking of you too
I'm thinking of you too
I'm thinking of you too
I'm thinking of you too

It reminds Cheryl Crow in the style of singing the lyrics of this rock. This is a tribute to hunger, as long as it can be understood. A girl sings about French baguettes around someone’s neck, and dinner plates and nice odor from the kitchen. But somehow she doesn’t go to eat, as she is laying back watching the cracking ceiling in three and then in four o’clock in the morning, thinking of death & necromancers, realizing some weird stuff like the plaster is a part of her skin. Creepy.
