Mumbling good morning and raising my head

A bad breath kiss to my pillow pet

Takes a look at the day

And turns and stay in bed



Open my eyes when the day has died

I turned the world and I slept alright

Now my day-mare's over, I zip my jeans tight

Oh Lord, won't you bless this night?



From the pale lips of a youth who lay

I'm sleeping my day away

And when the night comes to the city, I say

I'm sleeping my day away



Yeah, with my pale lips in the pillow, I say

I'm sleeping my day away

After dark is the game I play

I'm sleeping my day, I'm sleeping my day away



When my dreams begin

I'll be proud to be lettin' you in

With a smile on my face

I guide our dreamboat in



So if you wanna travel along with me

You better sleep tight the rest of the day

You see I could be a sleeper, it's not rest I lack

'Cause I hit the sack when the sun's coming back



From the pale lips of a youth who lay

I'm sleeping my day away

When the night comes to the city, I say

I'm sleeping my day away



Yeah, with my pale lips in the pillow, I say

I'm sleeping my day away

That after dark is the game I play

I'm sleeping my day, I'm sleeping my day

I'm sleeping my day away



I'm sleeping my day away

I'm sleeping my day away

Yeah, now I've turned the world around, yeah, I did it again

I'm sleeping my day away

And now I have to wear my shades down sleeper's lane

I'm sleeping my day away



Yeah, all the good people have gone to bed again

I'm sleeping my day away

Because the devil's at work inside my brain

I'm sleeping my day away



I'm sleeping my day

I'm sleeping my day away

I'm sleeping my day away, away
