Behind The Wall Of Sleep
Behind the Wall of Sleep
by Smithereens

She had hair like JEANNIE SHIPTON back in 1965
She had legs the never ended
I wuz halfway paralyzed.
She wuz 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

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 roomate 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.
