"Walking In My Sleep"


if I were ever to die
not likely say I
because I am gonna go on and on
just like the sun you see come up every dawn
I'm there, eternal
you know, the power I have is the power to unleash love in every sphere
I can make ladies rise from the dead no fear
watch how I do it listen up here
a drop of my seed to the east, to the west, to the north and the south
and then I bring them up slow and they start shoutin' out loud
and I make love till the cock crows and then baby don't you know
you goin' back in the hole again 'till I bring you up once again
to fill my lovin cup

I found darkness in the heart of the sunshine
I got blinded by the light in the moon
a black dog was barkin' at my back door
when I began my life born alone
and now my home is just a headache as a heartache
there no comfort in my family's arms
an'now I know I'm ready to go under
there ain't no need to set the clock to alarm

'cause I like walkin' in my sleep, yeah
it's the nightmare on the thirteenth floor
I've been wadin' in too deep, yeah
they found some blood stains on the basement door

I went looking for some peace in the country
but I found violence on the village green
the trees are com-tapped the mountain wired
with the clone closed circuit tv
as things fall apart my center is not holdin'
I crawl the city streets like a blind man
the beast has just departed Bethlehem
the second coming is getting out of hand

but I like walkin' in my sleep, yeah
it's the nightmare on the thirteenth floor
I've been wadin' in too deep, yeah
they found some blood stains on the basement door

come with me now baby the ghosts are on, arise
I seen the sun just like medicine
take ....... tranquilize
come baby, baby I'm here, your inside

I like walkin' in my sleep
it's the nightmare on the thirteenth floor
I've been wadin' in too deep, yeah
they found some blood stains on the basement door

I like walkin' in my sleep, yeah
it's the nightmare on the thirteenth floor
I've been wadin' in too deep, yeah
they found some blood stains on the basement door

all the demons their control me I'm seventeen
my uncle passed away
mammy hangin' around out back
hangin' around out back
underground

dreams come true
dreams come true
dreams come, come, come, come, come, come...
