Blitzen Trapper - Sleepytime in the Western World lyrics
[Blitzen Trapper - Sleepytime in the Western World lyrics]
Your eyelids are made of lead
You can't keep them up
'Cause it's 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
Waitin' 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 I'm gonna
Make like a tree and run
Sleepin' through the afternoon
I just can’t seem to leave my room
Waitin' for the moon and a love so
True it’s gonna see me through
You know it’s gonna see me through
Driftin' down the sleepy river
Wakin' like a child
You're never gonna know what the spirit's say
Unless you drift down for a while
You're never gonna know what the
Wind is whisperin' now
You're never gonna know unless you
Leave this world somehow
Unless you leave this world somehow
I woke up on the street, so apprehensive
Feelin' weak
And, as I finally tried to speak, twelve
Birds flew straight-ways from my mouth, yeah
They circled high above the sky
Began to cry with kissing sounds
A crowd gathered on the ground all
Speakin' strangely through their teeth yeah
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 yeah, they began to spin
Your eyelids are made of lead
You can't keep them up
'Cause it's 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
Waitin' for the moon and a love so
True it's gonna see me through
You know it's gonna see me through
You can't keep them up
'Cause it's 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
Waitin' 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 I'm gonna
Make like a tree and run
Sleepin' through the afternoon
I just can’t seem to leave my room
Waitin' for the moon and a love so
True it’s gonna see me through
You know it’s gonna see me through
Driftin' down the sleepy river
Wakin' like a child
You're never gonna know what the spirit's say
Unless you drift down for a while
You're never gonna know what the
Wind is whisperin' now
You're never gonna know unless you
Leave this world somehow
Unless you leave this world somehow
I woke up on the street, so apprehensive
Feelin' weak
And, as I finally tried to speak, twelve
Birds flew straight-ways from my mouth, yeah
They circled high above the sky
Began to cry with kissing sounds
A crowd gathered on the ground all
Speakin' strangely through their teeth yeah
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 yeah, they began to spin
Your eyelids are made of lead
You can't keep them up
'Cause it's 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
Waitin' for the moon and a love so
True it's gonna see me through
You know it's gonna see me through
