Sleeping Lyrics

A man is sleeping, he is sleeping

Though the world around him rises every day

The lawn needs mowing, the weeds are growing

And the mailbox overflowing with many bills to pay

The roof is leaking, the floorboards creaking

As his lover's sneaking softly out the door

Though his world is falling down, he doesn't hear a sound

He just pulls his covers 'round

And goes on sleeping

We are all sleeping, we are sleeping

Though we live each day just like the one before

Peacefully dreaming, no vigil keeping

While the fox is in the henhouse, the wolf is at the door

We should be waking, we could be taking

A closer look at those who mind the store

Will we open up our eyes, and see beyond the lies

Or will we stay hypnotized

And go on sleeping
