Sound-A-Sleep Lyrics

Close your eyes and you will see micro flashing neon lights
Open your eyes and you will see it still looks like the same thing
Lie and wait for sleep and listen to your heart beat too fast for sleep
Close your eyes and you will see the sound-a-sleep
I want to go I want to go I want to go down to go to sleep
Your frame of reference is my swimming pool
My, my swimming pool still looks like the China Sea
Pool to sea and finally the sound-a-sleep
Feel the muscles in your face twitch relax
Remembering everything that went down and will go down
I want to go down to sleep
Insomnia no sleep disease pennies parking feed me please
Lie and wait for sleep and listen to your heart beat too fast for sleep

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I am a hugh BLondie fan from the time I was very young. My older brother used to listen to her and I got hooked. This is special to me because when I had my kids I would play this song to them to get them to go to sleep. They use to call it the sleepy song.
