lyrics

slept through these meditations 
still I can’t sleep at night
burned out on inspiration
bent to spite
caught up caught up caught up
caught up in the rewind
caught up caught up caught up
I can’t get it right

centered on the best of what you could be
take a hint cause no one’s sticking around to see
if your last effort will make the cut

called out to higher powers
are you out of your mind?
the wick has burned completely
cannot make fire
Kata Kata Kata he said "dream it in the night"
Kata Kata Kata I can’t get it right
Kata Kata Kata he said "dream it in the night"
Kata Kata Kata I can’t get it right
let the last one die

take a mental picture of who I’m supposed to be
I think my Sensei has got it out for me
everyone is laughing at my form

running through the foliage of eras past
take the bait but I can’t make those feelings last
greeting folly for the face of an old friend
the same mistake again
prone to distraction
supine drills won’t take
why can’t I relax?

slept through these meditations
no I can't sleep at night
slept through these mediations
still I can’t sleep at night

In the yellow taxi turn to me and smile
by Combat Naps

Neal is a superb, innovative songwriter with playful and honest lyricism. He writes and records just about everything and does it in his room with modest tools that put some studio records to shame. Able Baker
