lyrics

Good night
And sleep well
Snoring can reach
One hundred decibels
How can he sleep
With the sound
Of a chainsaw
From his mouth

Mucosa vibrates
As tissues recline
You married a prince
You got a swine
The palate shakes
Silence is absent
And you want to break
God’s fifth commandment

Good night
And sleep tight
Don’t get mad
At your partner because when we sleep, the brain shuts off all auditory input that does not signal danger
So don’t pick a fight
But what then to do
With the love of your life
How do you solve
This nocturnal strife

Your love for your partner
is endless, like space
But picture a pillow
Pressed down on his face
Push hard and whisper:
”I love you”
He will stop fighting
When he turns blue

Good night
Pretend it rains
Tomorrow you’re rested
And hide his remains
Good night
Peaceful bliss
Give your darling one last kiss
