Lyrics

Deep Sleep

I've been walking in a deep sleep

Sleepwalking, but I just woke up

From a deep sleep

A very deep sleep

I've been running on remote control

In a deep sleep

A very deep sleep

I awoke the moment I was told

That a smile is just a frown turned around

On the face of a clown with a mean streak

It was a deep sleep

A very deep sleep

I can't remember what I used to know

In my deep sleep

A very deep sleep

Somebody help me now and let me go

Into a deep sleep

Now I just woke up from a deep sleep

Somebody -

Push me back, now, let me go

Into a dream again

To a sleep unlike before

So deep it never ends

I've been caught inside a deep sleep

Sinking deeper after I forgot

That a smile is just a frown turned around

On the face of a clown with a mean streak

In my deep sleep

A very deep sleep

Sleepwalking as I watch myself

In a deep sleep

An endless deep sleep

I keep pretending that it's someone else

In a deep sleep

Now I can't get up out of my deep sleep

I'm in a -

Deep sleep

But I just woke up from a deep sleep

Somebody -
