Lyrics Sleepwalking - Lyle Lovett

Sleepwalking

Last night you know I couldnt sleep
I was tossing, turning, and counting sheep
To tell the truth
The next thing I knew
I woke up on the outside
In the middle of the avenue
A policeman spied me traffic there
In my t-shirt and my underwear
He said, son, son
It sure dont look good
The way youve been calling for your baby
All over the neighborhood
It seems I was sleepwalking
Again last night
The way I was sweet talking
It must have caused a terrible fright
Last night when I was sleepwalking
Someone saw me at a doughnut shop
I was sitting, crying on a tabletop
It was not a pretty sight
I was out of control
The way that I was carrying on About my sweet jelly roll
I said officer please
My babys got me down on my knees
Lying in bed
Late at night
Sometimes I just go out of my head
At night
And I go out sleepwalking
Later on down at the jail cell
I was hoping things would turn out well
Because I dont recall
That masquerade ball
And I dont remember nothing yall
About that blown up rubber doll
So lately Ive stopped going anywhere
And Ive taken to sleeping with a teddy bear
Its a very full and rich
Imaginary life
And its sure enough better than dreaming yall
About any imaginary wife
