Half asleep Half a billboard Half a street That's my window All in all, if you want to know I'm half asleep Old friends and strangers They treat me like a little girl But not you dear, you're always here Back in the black and white, the spotlight And my 'Smoke the pack' pals And you were sitting pretty then Just like you're doing now I was something then, or so they say I could've gone all the way Like everything else, I did it halfway Half asleep, that's were the dreams and demons meet Say... Stop the laughter, dim the roar This clown's not funny anymore Friends used to say that to me Treat me like a little girl No, but not you dear, you are always here Like back when we'd trip the light out of sight The band would play I'd sing my heart out For a drunken crowd That didn't mean a thing We were so in love I loved you so That it seemed like an hour ago And when I'm down and out, I try to figure out What was it all about? What was it? What do we do now? I don't want to take another breath Half asleep Do do do do do do do do No no no no no No keep talking, I'm still here Don't let them take you away, my dear
