R.E.M. - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite lyrics
[R.E.M. - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite lyrics]
This here is the place where
I will be staying there isn't a number
You can call the pay phone
Let it ring a long, long, long, long time
If I don't pick up, hang up, call back
Let it ring some more oh
If I don't pick up, pick up
The sidewinder sleeps, sleeps
Sleeps in a coil
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her oh
There are scratches all around the coin slot
Like a heartbeat, baby trying to wake up
But this machine can only swallow money
You can't lay a patch by computer design
It's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs
Tell her tell her she can kiss my ass
Then laugh and say that you were only kidding
That way she'll know that
It's really, really, really, really me
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her oh
Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me
Today I need something
More sub-sub-sub-substantial
A can of beans or black-eyed peas
Some Nescafe and ice
A candy bar, a falling star
Or a reading from Doctor Seuss
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
The cat in the hat came back
Wreaked a lot of havoc on the way
Always had a smile and a reason to pretend
But their world has flat backgrounds
And little need to sleep but to dream
The sidewinder sleeps on his back
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
I can always sleep standing up
(Call me when you try to wake her) oh
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
I can always sleep standing up
(Call me when you try to wake her) oh
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
I can always sleep standing up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
I can always sleep standing up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
We've got to boogie, boogie, move on this one
I will be staying there isn't a number
You can call the pay phone
Let it ring a long, long, long, long time
If I don't pick up, hang up, call back
Let it ring some more oh
If I don't pick up, pick up
The sidewinder sleeps, sleeps
Sleeps in a coil
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her oh
There are scratches all around the coin slot
Like a heartbeat, baby trying to wake up
But this machine can only swallow money
You can't lay a patch by computer design
It's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs
Tell her tell her she can kiss my ass
Then laugh and say that you were only kidding
That way she'll know that
It's really, really, really, really me
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her oh
Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me
Today I need something
More sub-sub-sub-substantial
A can of beans or black-eyed peas
Some Nescafe and ice
A candy bar, a falling star
Or a reading from Doctor Seuss
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
The cat in the hat came back
Wreaked a lot of havoc on the way
Always had a smile and a reason to pretend
But their world has flat backgrounds
And little need to sleep but to dream
The sidewinder sleeps on his back
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
I can always sleep standing up
(Call me when you try to wake her) oh
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
I can always sleep standing up
(Call me when you try to wake her) oh
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
I can always sleep standing up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
I can always sleep standing up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
We've got to boogie, boogie, move on this one
