We're going to be friends - White Stripes (from the White Blood Cells album, 2001)

Fall is here, hear the yell
back to school, ring the bell
brand new shoes, walking blues
climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we're going to be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
then safely walk to school
without a sound

Well here we are, no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
we clean up and now its time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell
nouns, and books, and show and tell
at playtime we will throw the ball
back to class, through the hall
teacher marks our height
against the wall

And we don't notice any time pass
we don't notice anything
we sit side by side in every class
teacher thinks that I sound funny
but she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream while in my bed
when silly thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
and when I wake tomorrow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
cause I can tell that we're going to be friends

An absolutely heart-warming song that is. *melts*

On other news, I was wondering what sleeping with music on was doing to my brain...especially with White Stripes, 'cos towards the end of the White Blood Cells album, where the above song is from, it gets scarily noisy...I mean, scary if you get awakened by it wondering what the fuck the racket is all about only to realise that "hey, I left the CD player on".
Upon much googling(TM), I found this :
Hemisound
Music and sounds made specifically for better sleep. Apparently it has to do with interfering with brain waves and whatnot. Hmmmmmm.....methinks me music is scattering me brain waves all over the universe by playing good old White Stripes while me sleeps...sad, but detrimentally true...*tear*
