Now, I lay me down to sleep
Don't wake me, don't shake me
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
Don't wake me, don't shake me
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I'll wrap it up, I'll wrap it up
I woke up this morning going back to bed
Alarm clock ringing in tune with my head
The booze I abused to leave my boredom
I don't do just cause I can't afford them
My pie TV isn't my TV because the council bailiffs are after me
And when it's on it's pictures are mean
I'm numb to the war in a distant country
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
Oh yeah now
So I cover myself beneath my quilt
My powers run out and so is my guilt
At times like this I'm at a loss
Drifting in dreams of Ocho Rios
The cat crosses my face and I remember the fact
The DSS is on my back
I used to care a lot
Now the world spins before me
These days consist of sleep
And daytime TV
Don't wake me, don't shake me
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
Don't wake me, don't shake me
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I rub it up, I rub it up
I rub it up, I rub it up
I don't want a nightdream
These days I wash in the dark
I haven't even stood a wink
I just wonder you don't love me
I have to go, I gotta go
Move, to 1917
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
I think I better go to bed
