Watchmen - Sleep Lyrics

Of all the things I've heard and seen of this today
I keep them in my memory so to file away
I know they'll be around to visit one more time
To run beside me, suck me in the chambers of my mind

Oh, I know that feeling, the one that means I'm dreaming
Memory's kind of weening, but like I thought, it happens all the time
All the time

I had a dream on God's machine the other night
And there were crowds of angels trying to fix my flight
To me it's just another boring, very sleepy time
They just come back in and try to screw my mind

Oh, I like that feeling, I like it when you're screaming
Now I start to bleeding, what's the matter friends, it happens all the time

Time to wake up, time to shake out
Shake out all the madness going on
Time to wake up, time to shake out
Shake out all the madness going on

I remember when the men would crush my fingers
And you wouldn't help me 'till I screamed
Now I was just an ordinary lonely child
So tell me what this crazy nonsense really means

My fingers hurt, I'm screaming and I wanna know that feeling
Now I start my bleeding, what's the matter kids, it happens all the time

Time to wake up, time to shake out
Shake out all the madness going on
Time to wake up, time to shake out
Shake out all the madness going on

I'm scatterbrained today, but I know it's in my memory

Time to wake up, time to shake out
Shake out all the madness going on
Time to wake up, time to shake out
Shake out all the madness going on

There's a man beside my bed
