GOODNIGHT

Goodnight - Reptile turn out the light
The sleepers go for a wild and aimless ride
Goodnight - Goodnight to the telescope girl
Shows you a glimpse of her world
And reminds you just how far away you are

Goodnight - To a boy named Sam, goodnight
Where the sky touches the sea
Just construction paper, you and me
Goodnight - To the plastic flamingo light
Lit up and ready to fly
Only as far as the plug-in wire

Don’t you know it all will pass in time?
Through our fingers all is left behind
Don’t you know it all will pass in time?
Which means what’s mine for now is mine

Goodnight - To the halos and horns, goodnight
To the velvet rope in the sky
What if the magic eight ball was right?
Goodnight - To the dinosaur bone display
We all get our turn someday
My artifacts trapped on magnetic tape

Don’t you know it all will pass in time?
Through our fingers all is left behind
Don’t you know it all will pass in time?
Which means what’s mine for now is mine

Goodnight - To the delicate sheets of ice
Stretched over frozen seas
More frail than you, more frail than me
Are we
