Asleep Lyrics

As I lay here so low
I hear a tick or tock to stop my heart

As I lay here so low
I see a shape that shifts, my brain!
But all the while, I still know
That I got miles left to go

I don't want to leave my bed
I would rather dream instead
Of walking around with my hair down
Stumbling blindly through this town
All the while I wish I were sound
Asleep in my bed

The mad hatter had tea on the moon
Four and twenty blacks bird in a pie on my spoon
As I lay here so low
I'm an astronaut in a fairy tale
As I law here so low
I never can control my mind
Well I wish I could sleep all day
But I can't, and it's why I say

I don't want to leave my bed
I would rather dream instead
Of walking around with my hair down
Stumbling blindly through this town
All the while I wish I were sound
Asleep but it's time to wake up
The tick tock of the nightmare clock
It's the buzz of the alarm, please stop!
I can't take the noise
I need a pleasant though
One that sounds something like this

I don't want to leave my bed
I would rather dream instead
Of walking around with my hair down
Stumbling blindly through this town
All the while I wish I were sound
Asleep in my bed
