I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow

But it's better than sleeping by the wasteside of today

All the barbershops and funeral-homes were open

And the customers were coming and the business was doing great

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow

Dreaming dreams and drooling on my bed

All the people in my town would be born

And they'd get themselves a haircut

And then promptly after they'd be dead

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow

When a drunk girl awoke me on the train

But I did not hear her mumbling and I did not hear her stumbling

As I dubbed myself a passenger

And kindly stepped away

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow of tomorrow

I was sleeping I was sleeping by the wasteside

I was sleeping I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow

I was sleeping, ladies and gentlemen, I was slee-aaaaaaaah

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow

But it's better than sleeping by the wasteside of today

All the barbershops and funeral-homes were open

And the customers were coming and the business

Was doing so... so...

Great...
