Sleeping My Day Away

(album: No Fuel Left For The Pilgrims - 1989)

Mumbling good morning and raising my head
A bad breath kiss to my pillow pet
Takes a look at the day
And turns and stay in bed

Open my eyes when the day has died
I turned the world and I slept alright
Now my daymare's over, I zip my jeans tight
Oh Lord, won't you bless this night

From the pale lips of a youth who lay
(I'm sleeping my day away)
And when the night comes to the city I say
(I'm sleeping my day away)
Yeah, with my pale lips in the pillow I say
(I'm sleeping my day away)
After dark is the game I play
(I'm sleeping my day, I'm sleeping my day away)

When my dreams begin
I'd be proud to be letting you in
With a smile on my face
I guide our dreamboat in

So, if you wanna travel along with me
You better sleep tight the rest of the day
You see, I could be a sleeper, it's not rest I lack
'Cause I hit the sack when the sun's coming back

From the pale lips of a youth who lay
(I'm sleeping my day away)
And when the night comes to the city I say
(I'm sleeping my day away)
Yeah, with my pale lips in the pillow I say
(I'm sleeping my day away)
That after dark is the game I play
(I'm sleeping my day, I'm sleeping my day)
I'm sleeping my day away

I'm sleeping my day
(I'm sleeping my day, I'm sleeping my day)
Away!

(I'm sleeping my day away)
Yeah, now I've turned the world around, yeah, I did it again
(I'm sleeping my day away)
And now I have to wear my shades down sleepers lane
(I'm sleeping my day away)
Yeah, all the good people have gone to bed again
(I'm sleeping my day away)
Because the devil's at work inside my brain
(I'm sleeping my day away)
(I'm sleeping my day)
I'm sleeping my day away!
(I'm sleeping my day)
Away, away
