The Lyrics
This... I thought to write something about woolen blankets forming this softly warm protective wall, but instead, THIS came out, unbidden. It seems to lead one along the garden path, just like the original, but where that one goes back to life and commonplace matters... This one does not - as in the nightmare is but a foretaste of the awaiting doom.
Thundering blue-gray mountains of wool,
Wool without sheep, you know you're a *fool*,
Conjured heaven climbs high atop your bed,
Woolen blankets fill the sleeper with dread.
A nightmare comes like a haunting flood,
The mountain of wool screams like mud,
There are no words for this haunting dread,
You now awake to find yourself dead.
Counting sheep will find this for you
If you stay, yet shall you do,
For wool without sheep, of course.
Are you awake? Are you a horse?
Fallen from bed, and into the source --
Tangled thoughts aweave, distorted discourse?
(The night-time wool has no remorse)
Yes indeed - thou art a HORSE!
Without your shoes, you have gone lame,
Gone from your life, and gone insane,
Sudden start, lightning frying...
And in the grave you are dead lying.
Wool without sheep, you know you're a *fool*,
Conjured heaven climbs high atop your bed,
Woolen blankets fill the sleeper with dread.
A nightmare comes like a haunting flood,
The mountain of wool screams like mud,
There are no words for this haunting dread,
You now awake to find yourself dead.
Counting sheep will find this for you
If you stay, yet shall you do,
For wool without sheep, of course.
Are you awake? Are you a horse?
Fallen from bed, and into the source --
Tangled thoughts aweave, distorted discourse?
(The night-time wool has no remorse)
Yes indeed - thou art a HORSE!
Without your shoes, you have gone lame,
Gone from your life, and gone insane,
Sudden start, lightning frying...
And in the grave you are dead lying.
Kind of like 'Wake up Dead' by Megadeth.
