Lyrics
Your eyelids are made of lead You can't keep them up 'Cause its sleepytime And that's no crime in the western world Cause when the sun goes down You’re bound to follow through Sleepin' through the afternoon I just can't seem to leave my room Waiting for the moon and a love so true It's gonna see me through You know it's gonna see me through 'Cause when the sun goes down It’s gonna make that dream come true Sleeping through the afternoon I just can’t seem to leave my room Waiting for the moon and a love so true It’s gonna see me through You know it’s gonna see me through Drifting down the sleepy river Waking like a child Never gonna know what the spirit said Unless you drift down for a while Never gonna know what the wind is whispering now Never gonna know unless you leave this world somehow Unless you leave this world somehow I woke up on the street So apprehensive, feeling weak And as I finally tried to speak Twelve birds flew straightways from my mouth I circled high above the sky Began to cry with piercing sounds A crowd gathered on the ground All speaking strangely through their teeth I felt alone and in my crib I spoke once more into the wind A storm of birds contained therein Began to spin, to spin Your eyelids are made of lead You can’t keep them up 'Cause it’s sleepy time And that’s no crime in the western world Cause when the sun goes down You’re bound to follow through Sleepin' through the afternoon I just can’t seem to leave my room When I fall in love with a love so true It’s gonna see me through You know it’s gonna see me through
