Behind The Wall Of Sleep |
| She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton, back in 1965 |
| She had legs that never ended |
| I was halfway paralyzed |
| She was tall and cool and pretty |
| And she dressed as black as coal |
| If she’d ask me to, I’d murder |
| I would gladly lose my soul |
| Now I lie in bed and think of her |
| Sometimes I even weep |
| Then I dream of her, behind the wall of sleep |
| Well she held a bass guitar and |
| She was playing in a band |
| And she stood just like Bill Wyman |
| Now I am her biggest fan |
| Now I know I’m one of many who |
| Would like to be your friend |
| And I’ve got to find a way |
| To let you know I’m not like them |
| Now I lie in bed and think of her |
| Sometimes I even weep |
| Then I dream of her, behind the wall of sleep |
| Got your number from a friend of mine |
| Who lives in your hometown |
| Called you up to have a drink |
| Your roommate said you weren’t around |
| Now I know I’m one of many |
| Who would like to be your friend |
| And I’ve got to find a way to |
| Let you know I’m not like them |
| Now I lie in bed and think of her |
| Sometimes I even weep |
| Then I dream of her, behind the wall of sleep… |
| Behind the wall of sleep, behind the wall of sleep |
| Behind the wall of Sleep |
