Cassiopeia

Feel the matress tense beneath me

Like the muscle of nonsleepy

Feathers flexing will defeat me

And it vexes me completely

And the hexes heat covertly

Like a slow low-flying turkey

Like a Texan drying jerky

But his meaty mitts can't hurt me

With my steely will compounded

In a mighty mound that's hounded

By the snap my steel string sounded

Just before your snores unwound it

And in store are dreams so daring

That the night can't stop from staring

I'll swim sweetly as a herring

Through the ether, not despairing

Go to sleep, you stunning sky

Gently creep cunning by

A quiet hum is amplified

By your thumb

That you suck dry

Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh

Hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopiea

Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh

Hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopiea

Cassiopiea, Cassiopiea

Oh oh, Cassiopiea
