put me to sleep 3


put me to sleep
sing me a lullaby
of vials of codeine
entering my veins
put me to sleep
I'm not yet a butterfly
I'm an ugly old caterpillar
yearning to change

I need to rest
pass me my medicine
I need that bottle
to calm down my nerves
watch some TV
man, I miss Dave Letterman
giving politicians
what they deserve

          put me to sleep
          any way you'll allow
          I need to sleep
          somehow
          
put me to sleep
pass me the pipe, my friend
and the wine
and the cheetos
and TV listings online
put me to sleep
I'm saying goodnight, and then
I'm off to slumberland
hey, turn out the light
