New Brain movie - An Invitation To Sleep In My Arms lyrics

rate me

Gordon

Tomorrow they’ll strap me down on a bed

And remove the top of my head

Which is why I don’t think that now’s the right time

To have too much hope

I may be a dope

But I don’t think so

No, I don’t think so

No, I don’t think so

Roger

Would you ever, consider, lying close to me tonight

Could be exciting, I’m inviting you to sleep in my arms

Maybe we’ll laugh to loud

Maybe we’ll dance and you will sing

Maybe we’ll smile at all the pleasures

Sex and eating often bring

Maybe we’ll say no words

Just saying nothing is sublime

Maybe we’ll read a book you always meant to read

For which you hadn’t found the time

Rhoda

Oh God! Sorry…Hello…Hmm

Excuse me

But Bungee’s calling to state

How though he know you’re about to sedate

But by tomorrow at ten he needs the “Yes” song

Gordon

Fuck Him!

Rhoda

He said no matter what he’s going to rehearse the “Yes” song

Gordon

He’ll wait

Rhoda

He said his son, Mr. Music, wrote a verse of the “Yes” song

He is going to use if your song isn’t finished

Tonight then, just disregard what he said

And sit and reminisce with Roger instead

If you get over anxious pick up a pen

Finish the song, maybe I’m wrong

But I don’t think so

No, I don’t think so

No, I don’t think so

Gordon

I’d love to love but need to write

I get distracted so damn easily!

They’ll be other nights I’ll have to sleep your arms

I should have done what I meant to do

I could have been what I meant to be

I could have written the score to a rise or a symphony

A simple symphony

A simple symphony

A simple symphony

Look it’s my decision ok!

Roger

Forgetting the writing I’m inviting you to sleep in my arms

And if you snore

I’ll let you snore

Maybe there’s more!

Maybe there’s more

Maybe we’ll say no words

Just saying nothing is sublime

Maybe we’ll read a book you always meant to read

Rhoda

Aren’t you afraid that you’ll lose this job?

What else will fuck you if you lose this job?

You need this job!

Mimi

Nobody asked my opinion

But why don’t you tell him

His was the best invitation

Why is he making such a scene?

While you sit discussing what you’ve got to discuss

I’m off to your place for a date with Mr. Clean, I love him!

Lie with the man

What are you stupid?

Go and fly with the man

At least tonight, go fly

While I depart in hope and not in sorrow

Goodbye my loves goodbye

Operation tomorrow

Gordon

Tonight though could be my very last chance

To write a something I could be remembered by

It may not be a great song

But it could be my last song

And I hope you understand

If I simply kiss your hand

And say goodnight
