 Intro
She  had hair like  Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
She  had legs that never ended, I was halfway paralyzed
She  was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as  coal
If  she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my  soul
Now  I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes  I even weep
 Then I dream  of her behind a wall of sleep
Well  she  held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
And  she stood just like Bill Wyman, now I am her biggest  fan
Now  I know  I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And  I've got to find a way to let you know I'm  not  like them
(Instrumental)
(Instrumental)
Got  your  number from a friend of mine who lives in your home town
Called  you up to have a drink your roommate said you weren't  around
Now  I know I'm one of many who would like to be your  friend
And  I've got to find a way to let you know I'm not like them
Behind  a wall of  sleep
Behind  a wall of  sleep
Behind  a wall of  sleep
