Lyrics I'm Going Back to Sleep - Dick Valentine

I'm Going Back to Sleep

Well I snooze, but I don’t lose
I’m a somnambulist at the top of the list
I’m happiest when I’m tucked in
And I refuse to see sloth as a sin
From the middle of the night to the morning light
To the time when I feel just right
I got a goal: to shorten the gap
Between waking up and my afternoon nap
I wanna earn a coma diploma
Who do I see 'bout getting me into a coma?
'Cause when I lay me down, my soul is yours to keep
Woa oh, I’m going back to sleep
Well there ain’t no trees in
It’s a terrible place for a hammock
So I got the fuck out of there and moved to New York City
I felt all the nitty-gritty, nitty-gritty, nitty-gritty
They say it’s the city that never sleeps
Well you know that’s about to change
'Cause the price of loving you, girl, just ain’t cheap
Woa oh, I’m going back to sleep
Well, life’s better in my dreams
'Cause in there, you and me, we’re a team
And my dreams are powered by your love steam
But things are never quite what they seem
I’m gonna cryogenically freeze
A dream of your birds and of your bees
'Til the day you’re on your knees begging please
'Til then, I’m gonna catch up on some z’s
You can count me out, but just let me count my sheep
Oh lord, I’m going back to sleep
