slippers

put your feet in slippers
put your mind at rest
forget about the world outside
you have done your best
coat your throat in cocoa
draw a nice, long toke
life is but a dream when
it stops playing jokes

listen to the silence
like it's a symphony
you know, you keep yourself
pretty good company
treat yourself to dinner
at a fancy restaurant
life is but a dream when
it behaves the way you want

go make a tub of popcorn
put butter on it, too
find some crap on TV
and open up a brew
drink until the sun comes up
and the moon starts keeping score
life is but a dream when
it don't matter anymore

so put your feet in slippers
put your mind at rest
go and have your supper
like it's your last request
sip that strong, hot coffee
have a second cup
life is but a dream when
you're busy waking up
