[Intro]
Tell me how you get to sleep at night, sleep at night
Tell me how you get to sleep
[Verse 1]
I've been driving in a car for what seems like ages
Lost my head somewhere south of Las Vegas
Found it buried beneath the desert sand
Reattach it and made my way
To the place where I married you yesterday
With no ring upon my swollen hand
Ooh-ooh
In the chapel you jumped on my shoulders
Tackled me through the door to the sidewalk
I looked up at the steeple behind you
With my back velcroed to the blacktop
[Chorus 1]
Tell me how you get to sleep at night, sleep at night
Tell me how you get to sleep
Tell me how you get to sleep at night, sleep at night
Tell me how you get to sleep
Ooh-ooh, tell me how you sleep
[Verse 2]
We were kids in a candy store
Ate lunch by a road side dinosaur
Shared a cup of Ayahuasca tea
Ooh-ooh
Blurry vision and a wedding bell
Bright lights, a personal living hell
Then a moment of perfect clarity
You do this to everyone you meet
[Chorus 2]
Tell me how you get to sleep at night, sleep at night
Tell me how you get to sleep
Do you hide the vases from your mind, out of sight
Tell me how you get to sleep
Ooh-ooh, tell me how you sleep
[Bridge]
Asked me for the keys to my Datsun
In your hair was a cactus blossom
I blacked out and then I woke to the petals on the ground
[Chorus]
