To burst into the land of dreams
Push me down those blue moon beams
Among you and not, it seems, on drifting sand
I'd woken up but only half-awake
Where my aching bones won't say
Always there but never stay, on drifting sand

Wake me, shake me, tell me I'm alive
Take it easy give me no surprise
Among you and not it seems on drifting sand

I'll be a raggedy king with a rust crown
My queen Cleopatra when the sun goes down
Always there but never stay on drifting sand
We'll burst right through the land of dreams
Scattering those cold, cold, blue moonbeams
Always there but never stay on drifting sand

Wake me, shake me, tell me I'm alive
Take it easy give me no surprise
Among you and not it seems on drifting sand

Shadows on the ceiling, rocks in my bed
The moon on my shoulder, stars in my head
Find me a hat, I'll talk through it, lend me your ear, I'll talk to it
Show me the door, I'll walk through it, to the land of the drifting sand

Wake me, shake me, tell me I'm alive
Take it easy give me no surprise
Always there but never stay on drifting sand

Wake me, shake me, tell me I'm alive
Take it easy give me no surprise
Among you we're not it seems on drifting sand
