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 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.
