Suite: Judy Blue Eyes (2005 Remaster)

VERSE 1
He used to bark from a TV stage,
“Sleepy Joe’s too old for the age!”
Mocked the man for a softer tone,
Said, “That guy should head back home.”
Crowds went wild, he wore that grin,
Like irony would never set in…
But turns out fate can read a thread —
Now he’s noddin’ off mid-Zoom instead.

🎶 
CHORUS
Dowser — dreamin’ while the cameras roll,
Dowser — slumped like a used punch bowl,
Called Joe sleepy? Now the meme’s reversed —
‘Cause Dowser’s out here snorin’ first.
Time don’t tweet, but it sure keeps track…
And the nap strikes back.

🪕 
VERSE 2
He called Joe’s walk a “shuffle show,”
Said, “He can’t even tie a bow.”
“Low energy,” he’d always jeer,
As if Red Bull ran the year.
But watch him at the NATO mic —
Eyes like shutters, timing’s tight.
Sleep don’t care what party’s in —
It’ll grab your eyelids, thick or thin.

🎶 
CHORUS 2
Dowser — drifting through a border brief,
Dowser — like he’s counting sheep,
Used to brag he’d never tire —
Now he’s the one who’s lost the wire.
He sold that “vital spark” in stacks…
But the nap strikes back.

🎤 
BRIDGE
 
(spoken, with twang)
They said, “You mocked him for naps and age…”
He said, “Fake news! Turn the page.”
Then blinked real slow, mid-reply —
And let out a sigh you could practically ride.

🪕 
VERSE 3
He once claimed strength was in the stance,
Said “Sleepy leaders miss their chance.”
But cameras zoomed — what did they find?
A man half-gone, half outta time.
Now headlines echo with his phrase,
But the joke’s been flipped in a thousand ways.
Even Joe cracked with a grin so sly:
“Guess the nickname wasn’t mine.”

🎶 
FINAL CHORUS
Dowser — stuck in a sleepy loop,
Dowser — head-down in the briefing group,
Life don’t need a clever script —
Sometimes it just lets the eyelids slip.
No need to mock or counterattack…
‘Cause the nap strikes back.

💤 
OUTRO
 
(spoken, quiet, as music fades)
First they laughed at Sleepy Joe…
Now Sleepy Joe’s just watchin’ the show.
History don’t clap — it yawns…
and moves on.
