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
