This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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 again 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
(Sleepwalker)

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
