But not sleeping's better'n what happens when he sleeps.
He don't need anything more'n what he's got there, but sometimes when he stares at the ceiling - or the night sky - he can't help but think about a thing or two left behind that maybe he don't want got rid of.

He's quick, and he's quiet, but could be you could catch him.

Honestly. Grown-ups can be such control freaks.
