Sleeping In The Flowers

They Might Be Giants · John Henry [1994]

"I got a crush

Copy shop clerk

But she won't look up at me



Don't want to be known as the freak

Who just comes around to catch her eye



We could be sleeping in the flowers

We could sleep all afternoon

You proclaim that you're an island

I proclaim that I'm one too

Then we float into the harbor

With just piers and boats around

I declare that I am England

You declare that I have drowned



I got a ride

Home with a drunk guy

How ungrateful I must have seemed



He showed me how

To spin my head 'round and 'round



(repeat chorus x2)



We could be sleeping in the flowers,

Tell my boss that I've been fired (x2)

We could be sleep in the flowers,

Tell my boss I'm fired (x2)"
