Sleepwalker

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I should be calling collect from jail

For the things I commit each night in my head

Like last night in my sleep I got to snuff you

But then I woke up again, safe in my little bed

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life

I get to force your untimely disappearance

Each night in my dreams, when I'm fast asleep

I close my eyes and you just vanish soon as I

Lay down my head when I'm dead to the whole wide world

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life

And then I wake up and it was all just a dream

And everything is the same

Sleepwalker did I give you concrete shoes?

And throw you off of a bridge

Sleepwalker when I lay down to sleep

Pray your soul's mine to keep, I feel you near me

Go to sleep, sleepwalker

Just taking a stroll; don't go to sleep

Here's some toothpicks for your eyes

You always make an excellent cadaver

I roll your body up in a carpet to make music in the

Trunk of my limousine, wrapped up in a rug

A fitting end, is that I send you up the river like a punk

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life

The angel of death is pissed off at me again

Just because I got to put you out of my misery

It doesn't matter, I am without fear

Now you're dead, I won't shed another bloody tear for you

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life

I'm calling down the thunder, then you'll sleep with the fishes

The answer to all of my wishes

Sleepwalker did I tell you I was in movies?

Then dump you garroted, lying naked in a ditch

Sleepwalker everyday, another way, I know you can hear me

I think you'd look nice in a colombian necktie

Should stop your tongue from wagging the dog

No more stupidity from you, as I pull your tongue through

For a smile from ear to ear, now there's nothing to hear

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life

And then I wake up and it was all just a dream

And everything is still the same

Sleepwalker - did I give you concrete shoes?

And throw your body off of a bridge

Sleepwalker - when I lay down to sleep

Pray your soul is mine to keep, I feel you near me

Sleepwalker or did I tell you I was in movies?

Then dump you garroted, lying naked in a ditch

Sleepwalker everyday, another way, I know you can hear me

Sleepwalker did I buy you the farm?

Put a horse head in your bed

Sleepwalker when I lay down to sleep

Pray your soul is mine to keep, I feel you near me

Sleepwalker everyday

Everyday another way

Sleepwalker when I lay down to sleep

Pray your soul is mine to keep, I know you can hear me
