lyrics

Are you done with your winking?
Are you done with your blinking?
Are you ready my sweet boy for sleeple?
Are you done with your blinks?
Tell me, what do you think?
You know that we’re all sleepy people

Are you done with the bright?
Are you done with the light?
Are you done with these daytime hijinkles?
Are you ready for night
And the stars shining bright
Up in the sky, twinkle, twinkle?

Are you done with the loudness
Of this party crowd?
Are you done with the mix and the mingle?
Are you ready to go?
Yeah, you’re telling me so
Are you ready for car keys to jingle?

La la la la la la…

Are you ready, my boy
For your brain to enjoy
A delicious cupcake with sprinkles?
You can find such sweet things
In your very own dreams
In your deep-sleeping cerebral wrinkles

Are you ready for sleep?
Cuz I’m reaching my brink
Can you go down like old Rip Van Winkle?
This has gone on too long
Man, you’re putting me on
You’re being a bleepy-bleep-bleeple

La la la la la la…

Could it really be true?
Is the fight finally through?
Have you sunk into sweet silent slumber?
Well I’m sinking too
Into the dark and deep blue
Goodnight friends, I’m going under

La la la la la la…
