SLEEP TIGHT (words by Andrew)

Sleep Tight: You can't live in the Fear of Muzak world forever. At some point, you have to stop playing the album and go back to your normal life. This imagines what it might be like to leave the world of musical intoxication for the everyday mundanity.

For those who hate the pigeons ability to convert any clean place into a dirty mess, I would recommend listening to Tom Lehrer's "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park"

*** SKINNER PIGEONS ***

The Skinner pigeons displayed superstitious learning
when they learned to perform actions
unrelated to rewards.
In fact the trays that offered them delicious nutrients
were just opened by a timer
set to fire from time to time.
And so these birds would keep repeating senseless dances,
empty swingings, useless stances,
thinking they were in command.
Believing that they were the ones there in command.  

This begs the question:
What about success prescriptions,
secret methods, clever fictions?
Do they really lift our lives?
As we go forward pushing doorways, shouting orders,
firing people, building borders,
maybe we're not better than those helpless birds 
that swing their heads or flap their wings
thinking this entails the feeding
that is coming anyway.
The random feeding that is coming anyway.

Still we keep searching for the reasons of decaying,
for the meaning of our praying,
for the guilty butterfly.
We keep denying to be lost in mindless fighting,
running blind amidst the lightning,
waiting for the final strike.
We want the answers that will feed our understanding
that will bring us consolation
that will give a reason why.
We want the answers that will give a reason why.
