Lyrics
Sleeping Man
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.
you're a freak of nature
you are a siamese
you are in a pickle jar
for all the world to see
Watching the sleeping man
Watching the sleeping man
Watching the sleeping man
Watching the sleeping man
you are a guarded secret
in a government home
but now they come to see you
by the busload
