Who's that knocking at the bottom of my door?
|
Who's that lying on the floor
|
Like a fallen meteor
|
It's the sleeping man.
|
|
Tomorrow just slipped away
|
Whatever happened to yesterday
|
You play you pay
|
Sleeping man.
|
|
Sandman please leave him alone
|
Let him out of the twilight zone
|
Just for once let him answer the phone
|
Sleeping man.
|
|
Sandman please leave him alone
|
Let him out of the twilight zone
|
Just for once let him answer the phone
|
Sleeping man.
|
|
After supper eyes shut tight
|
Night is day and day is night
|
He's not a pretty sight
|
Sleeping man.
|
|
Face down on the table, drink in his hand
|
He doesn't hear the noise of the band
|
With a head full of ideas and eyes full of sand
|
Lies the sleeping man.
|
|
Sandman please leave him alone
|
Let him out of the twilight zone
|
Just for once let him answer the phone
|
Sleeping man.
|
|
Sandman please leave him alone
|
Let him out of the twilight zone
|
Just for once let him answer the phone
|
Sleeping man.
|
|
(Guitar Solo)
|
|
Sing a long lullaby to the sleeping man
|
Grab some zzz's, sleeping man
|
Said goodnight again to the sleeping man
|
See you in your dreams sleeping man.
