Letra da Música Paradox Drive de Peter Hammill

The thought crossed my mind -
how curious, why should I want so much shut-eye?
Fighting the darkness and furious,
oh, but I once more fall into the song...
just the normal unconsciousness;
could that be wrong?
All out into action then all down into sleep -
check that attraction, it must be more than skin deep.
I've checked the twenty-four hours,
I've done the stay-up-all-night;
in a certain way that's power,
but it's not wired up right.
Up for the pleasure, then it's dead to the world;
our lives surely measured by the unconscious third...

Living on Paradox Drive,
we must be living on Paradox Drive.

The thought crossed my mind, how curious -
why should I want so much shut-eye?
Fighting the darkness and furious...
oh, but I once more dropped off to the deep,
the sweet comfort of a life on my own asleep.
Up for the pleasure or dead to the world,
a life surely measured by the unconscious third...

Living on Paradox Drive,
we must be living on Paradox Drive.

I've checked the twenty-four hours,
I've done the stay-up-all-night;
in a certain way that's power,
but it's not wired up right,
it still isn't right.
