Wears Me Out

waking from my halfsleep
trance like morning now to
153 in a shade drawn afternoon
I will keep alertness at bay as
long and as often as possible
passing time slowly

I now have listened to the same
silver disc repeat for 48 hours
"it wears me out...
it wears me out...
and if I could be who you wanted...
if I could be who you wanted...
all the time... all the time"

(fade out)

(Thank You Thom Yorke)
