Take This Lying Down
Embracing Comfort: A Melodic Tale of Rest and Reflection
Lyrics
I was looking for something
I was searching for something
To soothe your aching head
To alleviate your pain or distress
Where did I put the recipe for breakfast in bed?
Where did I misplace the instructions for making breakfast in bed?
Three days stright, drinking late
Continuously for three days, staying up late
Sleeping on the fire escape
Resting on the fire escape
And in that nightie – a flaming sypmphony in red
In that nightgown – a vivid and intense display in red
From your window
Looking out from your window
There's a breeze and there are views
There's a gentle wind and scenic views
There are trees and roofs
There are trees, rooftops, and streets with people going about their day
And streets with people on their way
On their way this afternoon
On their way this afternoon
They are moving forward but lack awareness
On their way but not a clue
Unaware that from the treetops, they are pleading with you to stay
That from the treetops they are begging you to stay
In bed today
Choosing to stay in bed today
In bed today
Opting to remain in bed today
Rest assured, if you should ever feel the winter cold
Be assured that if you ever experience the winter chill
Your comfortability will keep you warm when you get old
Your comfort and ease will provide warmth as you age
I invented something new
I created something new
And if it's all the same to you
And if it's agreeable to you
I'd like to take some time and try it out
I want to take some time to test it
I'd like to try it out on you
I want to try it on you
Maybe you should take this
Perhaps you should accept this
Maybe you should take this lying down...
Perhaps you should accept this without resistance...
It's almost enough to give you something to think about
It's almost sufficient to provide you with something to contemplate
