Lyrics

Baby, Sleep

It may appall you to know
But the mall is the only place I go
So much choice and restrictions
You don't know what you've been missing
Same channel on my TV
The talking heads just can't agree
What does the modern world mean to me?

My baby only sleeps when she wants to
But baby so rarely wants to
My baby only sleeps when she wants to
But baby so rarely wants...

He's haunted by your own reflection
But even that can't hold your attention
Never has any complicated
Been so complicated
Basketball on my TV
My baby cradled on my knee
What does the modern world mean to me?

My baby only sleeps when she wants to
But baby so rarely wants to
My baby only sleeps when she wants to
But baby so rarely wants...

What are all these balloons
Doing in my front room?
What are all these balloons
Doing in my front room?
We made this stranger's house a home
And now I'm alone in this stranger's home
What are all these buffoons
Doing in my front room?

My baby only sleeps when she wants to
But baby so rarely wants to
My baby only sleeps when she wants to
But baby so rarely wants...

My baby so rarely wants
My baby so rarely wants (sleeps when she wants to)
My baby so rarely wants (sleeps when she wants to)
My baby sleeps when she wants to
