Lullaby (to stay up all night)

from Foam by Paolo Sala

lyrics

Clear the night and so am I
The window is a gate and everything is breathing
Moon gets high and so do I
The silver in my hands the ghost beneath the ceiling
True… does anybody feel as I do?

Fast is bike
And light is noise
I’m counting all the times you used that exact wording
Listen, do you hear that voice?
I cannot sleep tonight but everything is fitting
Free… to picture everything I cannot see

Mind you
I will speak my mind
And sitting on the floor
I’ll cross that open door
I’m feeling so playful
I’m hearing a song
Until the morning comes
Plays on and on and on
You had to be careful
You picked the wrong guy
I’m not one of those who work things out and try
I can be obsessive
But I am not strong
And when things seem settled
You might find me gone

But now it’s alright
I’m feeling quite relieved
My life is on a breeze
I’ve got to be steady
I’ve got to be a fool
And while I think of this
I see there is no rule

Hear me
I’m talking to you
I’m standing on a foot
Escaping from my roots
Don’t want to be someone
Don’t want to be you
Don’t want to be at all
I’m glad to have no goal

Though you paid attention
You got me so wrong
‘Cause you thought I was protecting my sweet home
But you didn’t get it
You can’t read my code
I’m a prisoner in the mixolydian mode
To stay up all night
It’s a lullaby
To stay up all night
