                             Behind the Wall of Sleep
                             by Smithereens

                             She had hair like Jeannie Shipton back in 1965
                             She had legs the never ended
                             I wuz halfway paralyzed.
                             She wuz tall and cool and pretty and
                             She dressed as black as coal
                             If she'd ask me to I'd murder
                             I would gladly lose my soul

                             Now I lie in bed and think of her 
                             sometimes i even weep
                             then I dream of HER 
                             behind the wall of sleep

                             Well she held a bass guitar and
                             she was playing in a band and
                             she stood just like Bill Wyman
                             now I am her biggest fan
                             Now I know I'm one of many 
                             who would like to be your friend
                             And I've got to find a way
                             to let you know I'm not like THEM

                             Now i lie in bed and think of her 
                             sometimes i even weep 
                             then i dream of her 
                             behind the wall of sleep

                             Got your number from a friend of mine
                             who lives in your hometown
                             Called you up to have a drink
                             your roomate said you weren't around
                             Now I kow i'm one of many
                             who would like to be your friend
                             and I've got to find a way to
                             let you know I'm not like them

                             Now i lie in bed and think of her
                             sometimes i even weep
                             then i dream of her
                             behind the wall of sleep
                             behind the wall of sleep
                             behind the wall of sleep
                             behind the wall of sleep.
