lyrics

Sleeping Baby Nebula
Sleeping Baby Nebula, turns his gaseous head,
Miniature piezoelectric yawn.
Glowing celestial Christmas tree of blacks & blues & reds,
Hovers for a moment, then he's gone.
Above the blue ionosphere, Hubbell takes a peek.
Sleeping Baby Nebula asleep.

Trees are boney fingers beckon me to die.
Hounds of early March tear at my coat.
Clouds are fishes' skeletons dangling in the sky.
He hovers high above me with the crows.
Between the buzzing galaxies, he shimmers like a ghost.
Sleeping Baby Nebula just floats.

Sleeping Baby Nebula rocked by solar winds,
Iridescent twinkling with stars.
Oblivious as the embryonic orchestra begins.
Sleeping wrapped up tightly in my arms.
Calm as baby Moses, drifting down the Nile.
Baby Nebula peaceful for a while.

about

Rich Krueger Chicago, Illinois

A literary songwriter of the first rank. It’s his quavering, compassionate, observant, imaginative, sometimes overstuffed, always eloquent songwriting that his crack bands are there to put across, as they do, unfailingly.... the kind of miracle that keeps me checking out thousands of albums a year so I can grade a couple hundred for posterity.
- Robert Christgau, Dean of American Rock Critics
