I'm Going Back to Sleep - Dick Valentine

Well I snooze, but I don’t lose

I’m a somnambulist at the top of the list

I’m happiest when I’m tucked in

And I refuse to see sloth as a sin

From the middle of the night to the morning light

To the time when I feel just right

I got a goal: to shorten the gap

Between waking up and my afternoon nap

I wanna earn a coma diploma

Who do I see 'bout getting me into a coma?

'Cause when I lay me down, my soul is yours to keep

Woa oh, I’m going back to sleep

Well there ain’t no trees in

It’s a terrible place for a hammock

So I got the fuck out of there and moved to New York City

I felt all the nitty-gritty, nitty-gritty, nitty-gritty

They say it’s the city that never sleeps

Well you know that’s about to change

'Cause the price of loving you, girl, just ain’t cheap

Woa oh, I’m going back to sleep

Well, life’s better in my dreams

'Cause in there, you and me, we’re a team

And my dreams are powered by your love steam

But things are never quite what they seem

I’m gonna cryogenically freeze

A dream of your birds and of your bees

'Til the day you’re on your knees begging please

'Til then, I’m gonna catch up on some z’s

You can count me out, but just let me count my sheep

Oh lord, I’m going back to sleep
