One Easy Thing

One Easy Thing Lyrics

I need to sleep
So very, very deeply
So very, very deeply
Can I sing for my supper?
Can I dance on a penny?

It is useless but I am faithful
Like a snowball in the rain

I’m reaching
I’m stumbling over my own feet
Day after day
Praying I wake up in a foreign land
So varied and strange
In another body
In a shapeless frame
And in the morning
So grey and static
I will fix my eyeline
On the nearest easy thing

And when you used to laugh
Rooms used to open for you
Like a handshake returned
Like a mother weeping
But I am on the call
And I am waiting

Well I am going to take these clothes off now
And I will swim out
I will let it wash over me

And if you want some blood
If you need the time
If you want somebody’s head
Here take mine
And if you want some blood
If you need the time
Well if you need somebody’s head
Well here take mine

But I am on the call
And I am waiting
But I am on the call
And I am waiting
I need to sleep
So very, very deeply
So very, very deeply
So very, very deeply
So very, very deeply
So very, very deeply
So very, very deeply
Oh very, very deeply
So very, very deeply
