Toynbee Tiles ​the scary jokes

[Verse 1]
Sweet dreams, I'll see you in the morning
All we need is a few hours sleep
And tomorrow, we'll keep looking for clues
To the riddles spelled out in our soup

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a dozen round every corner
But it won't be easy to piece them together, no
But we've got minds like barbed wire
I never thought that it would be so tough
Just to exist through the simplest, most menial stuff
But I know we're gonna figure this thing out, or self-immolate trying

[Chorus]
There once was a time when we walked crooked lines
But that's all over now
I'll walk with you into the blue

[Verse 2]
Dreamt of a city, somewhere over the mountains
Where the sidewalks are paved with helpful ideas
You were with me, standing over the highway
Gasoline hanging in the air

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't seem to cut loose all these tangled threads
In my embroidered tapestry crafted by my very own 2,000 hands
You got any weekend plans?
Can't help but wonder if you're still my pal
But you told me once that you would follow me into hell
And oh man, that place is far behind me now
