Tell me how you get to sleep at night
Tell me how you get to sleep
I'd been driving in a car for what seemed like ages
Lost my head somewhere south of las vegas
Found it buried beneath the desert sand
Reattached it and made my way
To the place where I married you yesterday
With no ring upon my swollen my hand.

In the chapel you jumped on my shoulders
Tackled me through the door to the sidewalk
I looked up at the steeple behind you
With my back velcroed to the blacktop
Tell me how you get to sleep at night
Tell me how you get to sleep
Tell me how you sleep

We were kids in a candy store
Ate lunch by a roadside dinosaur
Shared a cup of ayahuasca tea
Blurry vision and a wedding bell
Bright lights and a personal living hell
Then a moment of perfect clarity
You do this to everyone you meet

Tell me how you get to sleep at night
Tell me how you get to sleep
Do you hide their face from your mind, out of sight?
Tell me how you get to sleep
Tell me how you sleep

Asked me for the keys to my datsun
In your hair was cactus blossom
I blacked out and when I woke
There were petals on the ground

Tell me how you get to sleep at night
Tell me how you get to sleep
Do you hide their face from your mind, out of sight?
Tell me how you get to sleep
Tell me how you get to sleep at night
Tell me how you get to sleep
