Sleepyhead Lyrics
painted murder on the wall
footsteps coming down the hall
to the window through the blinds
run away but i still
hear the footsteps
closing in again
this time the plane is going down
double over get ready
i’m allergic to the light
and the darkness brings me fight
through the peephouse i saw
the suicidal neighbors
they turned the doorknob
came in again
someone sleeping in my bed
closed my eyes and
i had a dream inside a dream
i woke so many times
i don’t know if i’m awake
jam the forceps in my eyes
keep them open through the night
listen to a grating voice
the night speaks it says
“hey” to morning
“it’s great to meet again
out of bed you sleepyhead”
i had a dream inside a dream
i woke so many times
i don’t know if i’m awake
footsteps coming down the hall
to the window through the blinds
run away but i still
closing in again
this time the plane is going down
double over get ready
and the darkness brings me fight
through the peephouse i saw
the suicidal neighbors
came in again
someone sleeping in my bed
closed my eyes and
i woke so many times
i don’t know if i’m awake
jam the forceps in my eyes
listen to a grating voice
the night speaks it says
“hey” to morning
out of bed you sleepyhead”
i had a dream inside a dream
i woke so many times
i don’t know if i’m awake

awesome baby~ they rock
goddamnit.... i love them so much it's beyond words.
good song... reminds me of having nightmares every nite... >.<
This is my favorite gob song. I like the creepy whispering in the background,it's a nice effect to the song. Great song,im not sure if it's a meaphore for lossing touch with reality,or just about bad dreams,but it rocks either way,it's good song writing.
The third verse has a couple errors...
I’m allergic to the light and the darkness brings me through the i saw the suicidal neighbors
Subtle difference, but makes a big change of meaning.
Great song. Amazing visuals about a dream. Really cool to try and follow the images in your mind.
lol, I tried to highligh the words... instead the got deleted here again
I’m allergic to the light and the darkness brings me fright through the peephole i saw the suicidal neighbors
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's peephole and not peephouse... >_.
Ah! Yes. It must be about losing touch with reality, or confusing dreams with reality and not remembering what really happened...
