when i wake up early in the morning
i lift my head, im still yawning
when im in the middle of a dream
stay in bed, float up stream
please dont wake me
no dont shake me
leave me where i am
im only sleeping
everybody seems to think im lazy
i dont mind, i think they're crazy
running everywhere at such a speed
until they find, there's no need
please dont spoil my day
im miles away
and after all, im only sleeping
keepin an eye on the world going by my window
takin my time
lying there and staring at the ceiling
waiting for a sleepy feeling
please dont spoil my day
im miles away
and after all, im only sleeping
