Sleep Lyrics

(Yeah!)

Well, we assure you, the procedure is safe and routine
Dramamine sends haunting dreams (Dramamine sends haunting dreams)
With an incessant drip, sinus pockets like a faucet.
'Cause you have to work hard for.. (Yeah you work hard for what you've got)
Yeah you have to work hard for.. (Yeah you work hard for what you've got)
(Yeah you work and now your...)

(Local.. Ane..sthe..sia.. Teases)
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia

Sleep, Oh! Sleep, Oh! Sleep, Oh!
We'll breathe the sweet air through your nose
Sleep, Oh! Sleep, Oh! Sleep, Oh!
We'll breathe the sweet air through your nose

Something practiced is something perfect.
(We) Are selfishly slimming because the season's got us eating less and less. (less and less)
You walked the full length of Manhattan in no time flat
While your soles they were stuck sticking in every step.

(Yeah you work hard for what you've got
Yeah you work hard for what you've got
Yeah you work and now your...)

(Local... Ane... sthe...sia.. Teases..)
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia

Sleep Oh! Sleep Oh! Sleep Oh!
We'll breathe the sweet air through your nose
Sleep Oh! Sleep Oh! Sleep Oh!
We'll breathe the sweet air through your nose

(Lo...cal... Ane... Sthesia... Teases..)
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia,

It teases me to...

Sleep Oh! Sleep Oh! Sleep Oh!
We'll breathe the sweet air through your nose
Sleep Oh! Sleep Oh! Sleep Oh!
We'll breathe the sweet air through your nose

Yeah you work hard for what you've got
(Breathe the sweet air through your nose)
Yeah you work hard for what you've got
Yeah you work hard for what you've got
Yeah you work hard for what you've got
Yeah you work hard for what you've got
Yeah you work hard for what you've got
Yeah you work and now you're...

This song is likely about someone going into a surgery and there fear of death the lyrics "sleep on we'll breath the sweet air through your nose" likely meaning the person is dying and unable to breath themselves, "sleep on" could also mean "pass away" and the person's going into a comma there unlikely to awake from I think the entire second verse is reminiscing and the line "I'm selfishly slimmin' because the seasons got us eating less and less" being a early sign of illness

Wow this song is absolutely amazing. The lyrics are a little.. fuzzy but they sound correct, I'll correct if needed later 'cause I'm not so sure about the chorus.

Otherwise I think this song has a whole drug-like/rehab theme going on...

THey should have worked harder on this one, it had the potential to be a really good poppy hit song, and it is better than most of their CD. It is probably Slim Member, considering the next line is the seasons got us eating less and less.
