American Sleep

Mistress of ices
Stygian Skater
Scribing devices
Dancing on sabres
So very relentless
Counting the sheep
Electrical fences
Americans leap
Paramorpheus
Somnambulating
Dream scarabaeus
In chorus refraining
So very relentless
Counting the sheep
Electrical fences
Americans leap
One, two, fisherman’s stew
Boiled on timber and stirred with a broom
Three, four, pour it on the floor
Feed all the beasties and cook up some more
Five, six, mortar and brick
Weaker than iron but stronger than sticks
Seven, eight, lock up the gate
Nothing to do but to sit and to wait
Nine, ten, do it again
Bun in the oven, a wolf in the den
Companion chimera
Lethean grazer
Pausing to herald
Mistress of sabers
So very relentless
Counting the sheep
Electrical fences
Americans leap
