The mirror can’t see me
When I’m not me
I’m just a blur
To the lights that stir

But it’s just for a while
Then I’m back in my smile

The dew before
The light catches it
Before then

I love my jimjam
Jabama jabamers  
You calls ‘em PJs
Some call ‘em pajamas

My jimjams are old
And all busted up
There’s a hole in the sleeve
Where my elbow snuck

But they still fit well
Real snug as can be
Though threads from my cuffs
Do dip in my tea

But the buttons still hold
And the pocket still carries
They keeps me warm at night
When the winter tarries

So I pop on my jimjams
‘For I hop into bed
And I curl up real tight
Once my prayers are said

I love my jimjam
Jabama jabamers
You calls ‘em PJs
Some call ‘em pajamas

The radio never listens to me
My dog never calls my name
Though the floors never walk on me
So I guess I can’t complain

A rumble calls
A false cry for rain
Wither the plants
In a dry spring’s pain

The dark is for the monsters
The dark is their only mask
Fear them as you should
But forget not those who bask

The brittle grass beneath his feet
The cooling air won’t fail the beat
Was feeling sick but can’t throw up
Too tired to sleep but can’t get up

This pill to swallow, a bitter beast
And time spent here, still meant the least
Static sparks in electric air
First given was warning fair

Wonder out and he will tell you jokes
Between *****, Red Bulls an’ Cokes
Now an echo cries and begs to stay
Tied to a wish for a happy birthday
