sleeping
I been sleeping
I can
just barely open my eyes
dreaming
down in the deep end
even the sun
it has to rise
I know that I should
get up if I could
and put on my suit
and go out in disguise
sleeping
the whole world is sleeping
there aint nobody
even awake
sleeping
6 billion are sleeping
around the clock
from dawn to daybreak
you may think that I'm lying
but I aint even trying
I tell you the truth
it aint no mistake
sleeping
maybe you're sleeping
although you think
your life must be real
sleeping
keep on a keeping
and tell yourself
you feel what you feel
and if you get cut
no if ands or buts
you can go back to sleep
and maybe you'll heal
