SLEEPWALKING
© Woodstock Taylor

This morning I'm going to stay in bed
Going to drag the covers round my head
The world outside looks so damn bleak
I think I'll just go back to sleep
And I will not turn on the news
Until I choose to have the blues
Don't need no box to make me weep
I think I'll stay in bed all week
Sleepwalking, sleepwalking

I'm just preventing one more crime -
The daylight robbery of my time
The only way to see the light
Is after staying up all night
I'm feeling so secure and warm
It's like I'm waiting to be born
Simply preparing for the day
When I've dreamed all my cares away
Sleepwalking, sleepwalking

Automatic boss-man couldn't give a toss, he's just
Sleepwalking
Economic payback, slow it down at playback
Dream talking

It's only borrowers and fools
Who live by someone else's rules
And though my rules might seem the same
My game's got quite a different name
Would people still behave like sheep
If they all spent more time asleep?
Or are they too far gone to know
A dried-up river cannot flow?
Sleepwalking, sleepwalking

People walking by there tied into a lie they're
Sleepwalking
Promise in the distance, path of least resistance
Dream talking

This morning I'm going to stay in bed
Going to drag the covers round my head
The world outside looks so damn bleak
I think I'll stay in bed all week,
Sleepwalking.
