Oedipus

A race car bed
He never got to get
Tucked in on one
Bedtime could’ve been so fun
Life will pass you by so fast
She said bow your head and get your knees
And pray the Lord hand you the keys
To drive away your bad bad dreams
And fall asleep
Oedipus, oedipus
Now isn’t this all a mess
Trying to leave the oracle buried back in the past
Oedipus, oedipus
Come on, get up, get dressed
Life will pass you by so fast
A race car bed
Became a thought to get
Out of his head
He had grown too old for them
Life will pass you by so fast
She said bow your head and get on your knees
And pray the Lord hand you the keys
To drive away your bad bad dreams
And fall asleep
Fall asleep
All he ever wanted was to lay his head
On a pillow on a mattress on a race car bed
Every single night he’d say the same old prayer
And he’d open up his eyes a little more aware
Oedipus, oedipus
Now isn’t this all a mess
Trying to leave the oracle buried back in the past
Oedipus, oedipus
Go on, get up, get dressed
Life will pass you by so fast
Fall asleep
