Your eyelids are made of lead
You can't keep them up
Cause its sleepytime
And that's no crime in the western world
Cause when the sun goes down
Youre bound to follow through
Sleeping through the afternoon
I just can't seem to leave my room
Waiting for the moon and a love so true
It's gonna see me through
You know it's gonna see me through
Cause when the sun goes down
I'm gonna make like a tree and bloom
Sleeping through the afternoon
I just cant seem to leave my room
Waiting for the moon and a love so true
Its gonna see me through
You know its gonna see me through
(Even though the last part ends on Bb and this part starts on Bb,
I change from Bb1 to Bb2 to get closer to the lower F,
there's a pause anyway, might as well.)
Drifting down the sleepy river
Waking like a child
barre
Never gonna know what the spirit said
Unless you drift down for a while
Never gonna know what the wind is whispering now
Never gonna know unless you leave this world somehow
Unless you leave this world somehow
I woke up on the street
So apprehensive, feeling weak
And as I finally tried to speak
Twelve birds flew straightways from my mouth
I circled high above the sky
Began to cry with piercing sounds
A crowd gathered on the ground
All speaking strangely through their teeth
I felt alone and in my creep
I spoke once more into the wind
A storm of birds contained therein
Began to spin, to spin
Your eyelids are made of lead
You can't keep them up
Cause its sleepytime
And that's no crime in the western world
Cause when the sun goes down
Youre bound to follow through
Sleeping through the afternoon
I just can't seem to leave my room
Waiting for the moon and a love so true
It's gonna see me through
You know it's gonna see me through
barre F1 Bb1
