Sleepytime in the Western World

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 straight-ways 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 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
