Lyrics

Sleeping Instead
I woke up, and pulled the sheets back over my head.
Woke up, pulled the sheets back over my head,
I said, oh lord, don?t make me go out there today,
So many bills to pay,
And the newsmen say
The bottom?s still far off.

And I just had a dream,
You and I were swimming in the sea.
I just had a dream,
We were like two fishies in the sea,
Floating there,
Bubbles in our hair,
Without a care,
No worries that the world could drag us down.

(Chorus)
Maybe paranoia, poverty won?t trouble me,
When I?m safe in my bed.
Maybe war and death, catastrophe will pass me by,
If I?m sleeping instead.

When I walk outside,
I stand and rub my eyes,
And when I walk outside,
I fill with knots inside.
?Cause there?s politicians spewing,
Like a line of guzzling SUV?s
While fetid water, it rains down on me.

And I just had a dream,
You and I were singing in a tree.
I just had a dream,
We were like two birdies in a tree,
And we could fly up high,
Yeah we?d be free to touch the sky
With warm sunlight in our eyes,
No worries that the world could drag us down.

Chorus (x2)

Are we sleeping instead?
