Lay Still, Steven, and I'll Tell You a Bedtime
Story.
I'll Tell You A
Bedtime Story That's Not For All Children.
It's a Very Special Story, That
Only Special Children Will Understand.
It's a Half Aware Story, and It Will Be
Better If You Close Your Eyes.
It's a Story That Takes Place in a Dream, Like
Other Nightmares You Have Known.
It's a Dream That Alice Has Dreamed.
You Can Dream Along With Him.
You Can Follow Alice Down the Staircase, Deep,
Down the Stairs to the Pit Where He Doesn't Want
to Go, But He Has To.
If You Go to Sleep Now, Steven, You Can Go Down
the Long and Endless Staircase and Sing Sweet Song
to Alice and Free Him.
And If You Can't Get to Sleep, Steven and the
Middle of Night You Get Out of Bed, When
Everything Is
Quiet and the Trees Are Still and the Birds Are
Hiding From the Dark, You Can
Lay Down On Your Bedroom Floor and Press Your Ear
Tightly to the Boards.
If You Listen Very Carefully You Can Hear Alice
Searching For a Way Out, Forever
Chasing Rainbows.
Sleep Tight, Steven.
And Have a Good Night
