You would not believe your eyes You'd think me rude but I wouuld just stand and stare I'd like to make myself believe It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep Cause everything is never as it seems Cause I'd get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs As they tried to teach me how to dance A foxtrot above my head A sockhop beneath my bed Awake when I'm asleep Cause everything is never as it seems Cause I feel like such an insomniac Please take me away from here Why do I tire of counting sheep When I'm far too tired to fall asleep If my dreams get real bizzare Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar I'd lke To make myself believe That Planet earth turns slowly Awake when I'm asleep When I fall asleep I'd like to make myself believe It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep I'd like to make myself believe That planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
