Sleeper, Awake - John Wesley Harding

Rise up from your deep sleep, baby

Wake up from your slumber

I’ve got your anesthetic ready

I have got your number

I’ll do everything to help you

Make a smooth transition

The coffee’s in the grinder

The key’s in the ignition

Sleeper, arise

Wipe the sleep from your eyes

Get outta your bed

Quit playing dead

Sleeper, awake

How much time does it take?

Lie there still and I’ll kiss you

Oh, how I’ve missed you

Sleeper, awake

You’ve slept for a thousand years

But not like Sleeping Beauty

Maybe you’re the princess

Who refused to do her duty

No poisoned spinning wheel

No blood upon the singer

You just buried your alarm

And turned off the phone ringer

Sleeper, arise

Wipe the sleep from your eyes

Get outta your bed

Quit playing dead

Sleeper, awake

How much time does it take?

Lie there still and I’ll kiss you

Oh, how I’ve missed you

Sleeper, awake

Ah, but I’m scared

One touch of your cold cold lips

Perhaps I’ll join you there

But I don’t care

This is a risk, this is a risk

This is a kiss, this is a kiss

Sleeper, arise

Wipe the sleep from your eyes

Get outta your bed

Quit playing dead

Sleeper, awake

How much time does it take?

Lie there still and I’ll kiss you

I can’t resist you

Sleeper, awake
