Sleepy People Lyrics

Sleepy people

Look what you done

Look what you didn't do

Sleepy people

Are you up with the sun?

No, you just slept right through

Out in the rain

They are taking the strain

On the rope of the shapeless new day

At quarter past seven

They're banished from heaven

But there's no complaint

From the latter day saints

Or the raincoat and umbrella girls

Who open their shoe stores

And there's no excuse for

Sleepy people

Look what you done

Look what you didn't do

Sleepy people

Are you up with the sun?

No, you just slept right through

Back in the gloom

Of a bedroom that's baffled

A tomb that is soundproofed and still

Until a half past

When there's movement at last

But you faked us all out

With that little about turn

That shifting upon your right side

It's just eyelid flutter

A groan and a mutter from

Sleepy people

Look what you done

Look what you didn't do

Sleepy people

Are you up with the sun?

Maybe the world dreams you

Sleepy people

When I'm jumping the gun

Oh, how I envy you
