You  are sleeping off your demons
When  I come home
Spittle  bubbling on your lips
Fine  white foam
I  am young and I am good
 It's a hot  Southern California day
If  I wake you up
There  will be hell to pay
 And alone in my room
 I am the last  of a lost civilization
And  I vanish into the dark
 And rise  above my station
Rise  above my station
 But I do  wake you up and when I do
 You blaze  down the hall and you scream
I'm  in my room with my headphones  on
Deep  in a dream  chamber
 And then  I'm awake and I'm guarding  my face
Hoping  you don't break my stereo
 Because it's  the one thing that I couldn't  live without
 And so I think  about that
 Then I sort  of black out
 Held under these smothering waves
 By your strong  and thick veined hand
But  one of these days
 I'm gonna wriggle  off on dry land
