Sueño Siesta

Nesta was a wiry little bugger

sharp of both wit and tongue

his part of this story hasn’t even ended

while mine has barely begun

he used to work for the Department of Sleep

but has since gone out on his own

you'd be surprised at some of the dreams

Nesta's siestas have sown

old dreams current times

bold dreams schemes and crimes

sold dreams hearts and souls

cold dreams polar reversal of roles

sometimes you just need a nap

a little being better than none at all

sombrero down feet up

and give old Nesta a call

he'll hook you up fast

nice, easy and clean

and for a moderate fee

if you know what i mean

a return ticket for one to the land of nod,

where soaring imagination takes flight

to the land of question pregnant riddles

and the mysteries of the night

eyes closed illusions of grandeur

or sometimes it’s the little things

there is a unique quality

to the mind flights he brings

dreams of flashy fame and fortune

dreams of soul crushing despair

even the always running one,

but never getting anywhere

the dreams will always be yours

all yours alone to keep

but the only time you can hold them

is when you're fast asleep
