Thom Yorke
Thom Yorke sing me lullaby
Each night as I lay dying
Morning music—Jeff, Lucinda, Marvin
But Thom sing me lullaby
Sweet lullaby
Each night
As I lay dying

I like the strings
I like the synth
I like the beat
But I need a voice to follow

                                   Follow

                                                        Follow

In the desert here with me
I need a face to find
I need a voice to follow

Dreamers they never learn, he say
I lay dying
Beyond a point of no return, he say
I lay dying
It’s too late the damage is done, he say
I lay dying
Sing me to sleep each night
This grave of dinosaur bone
This skin this hut of bone
Bear sleep premature death right way
We sleep too many

Thom Yorke sing me lullaby each night
Sweet lullaby
As I lay dying
But in the morning
Jeff
