sleeping my day away

mumbling good morning and raising my head

a bad breath kiss to my pillow pet

takes a look at the day

and turns and stay in bed

open my eyes when the day has died

i turned the world and i slept alright

now my daymare's over

i zip my jeans tight

oh lord

won't you bless this night

from the pale lips of a youth who lay

and when the night comes to the city i say

yeah

with my pale lips in the pillow i say

after dark is the game i play

when my dreams begin

i'd be proud to be lettin' you in

with a smile on my face

i guide our dreamboat in

so

if you wanna travel along with me

you better sleep tight the rest of the day

you see

i could be a sleeper

it's not rest i lack

'cause i hit the sack when the sun's coming back

from the pale lips of a youth who lay

and when the night comes to the city i say

yeah

with my pale lips in the pillow i say

that after dark is the game i play

i'm sleeping my day away

i'm sleeping my day

away!

yeah

now i've turned the world around

yeah

i did it again

and now i have to wear my shades down sleepers lane

yeah

all the good people have gone to bed again

because the devil's at work inside my brain

i'm sleeping my day away!

away

away
