Intro:
Recitation of "To Sleep" by John Keats

Lyrics:
A quarter past eleven on a Saturday night,
riding with my parrot
on a wave of light.
Melatonin cruising right along,
listen to the elvish owls sing a song.

Memories trapped on the cranial ridge.
Neuroreceptors span a bridge.
Shift into fifth, push on the gas,
catch what's trapped and make it last.

Riding right past a funny scene,
hot spilled milk made Coleridge scream,
holed up, caught up, passing by,
The catty-corner kitty starts to fly.

Next to the unconscious spectral glare,
Lacanian thoughts and the people stare.
Bubbling plasma starts to boil,
memories melting myelin soil.

Out of sight, out of time, cruise on down,
moving right along to the funky sound,
Dendrites flowing like a waterfall,
catching neural moonbeams in the hall.

Trip is almost over at a quarter 'till five,
sun on the trees makes the leaves feel alive.
Conscious starts to wake and tear a seam,
all across the surface of this cosmic dream.
