Melatonin
A two-minute synthesiser lullaby with a threat in the middle of it.
1997
the b-side
It came out on the second CD of the “Paranoid Android” single, then on Airbag / How Am I Driving? and later OKNOTOK: two minutes of synthesiser, sung gently, in the shape of a lullaby.
The line underneath the tune is “death to all who stand in your way”, which is what the hormone in the title does to sleep: it puts you under, and what happens there is not up to you.
