Lyrics for Song: Sleepwalking
Lyrics for Album: Baker Street [1999]
Out on the street and the rain is fallin?, I got nowhere to go
Here in my heart I can hear you callin?, maybe I should come back home
I don't know what keeps us together but I can't break the chain
I don't mind a little stormy weather but I just can't stand the rain
Hey, sleep, sleepwalking, hey, deep sleep talkin?
Hey, reelin? and rockin?, hey, wailin? at the moon
Hey, sleep, sleepwalking, hey, deep sleep talkin?
Hey, reelin? and rockin?, hey, wailin? at the moon
Sleep won't come, so you lie there waitin?, lookin? at the silvery light
Tellin? yourself there's nothin?
new, so whatever gets you through the night
Meanwhile back in the music business, the beat goes on and on
I sell my soul to the company man when there's nothin? else to lean upon
Hey, sleep, sleepwalking, hey, deep sleep talkin?
Hey, reelin? and rockin?, hey, wailin? at the moon
Hey, sleep, sleepwalking, hey, deep sleep talkin?
Hey, reelin? and rockin?, hey, wailin? at the moon
People come, people go, friends they disappear, there's only one thing
That I wanted to know, tell me where do we go from here
Everybody's on the make, everybody's tryin? to get ahead
In a world like this, you just exist to feed the walkin? dead
Hey, sleep, sleepwalking, hey, deep sleep talkin?
Hey, reelin? and rockin?, hey, wailin? at the moon
Hey, sleep, sleepwalking, hey, deep sleep talkin?
Hey, reelin? and rockin?, hey, wailin? at the moon
Lookin? out on a world gone crazy, waitin? for the fun to begin
The race is on, yeah they're gettin? ready, Jesus what a state we're in
Meanwhile down in my backyard I'm sittin? doin? solitary
Now that I've milked the sacred cow, I just worry ?bout the military
Hey, sleep, sleepwalking, hey, deep sleep talkin?
Hey, reelin? and rockin?, hey, wailin? at the moon
Hey, sleep, sleepwalking, hey, deep sleep talkin?
Hey, reelin? and rockin?, hey, wailin? at the moon
Get ready
Get ready
Get ready
