John Wesley Harding Sleeper Awake Lyrics

Sleeper Awake Lyrics

Rise up from your deep sleep baby

Wake up from your slumber

I've got your anesthetic ready 

And I have got your number



I'll do anything to help you make a smooth transition

The coffee's in the grinder and the key's in the ignition



Sleeper arise

Wipe the sleep from your eyes

Get out of your bed

Quit playing dead

Sleeper awake

How much time's it take?

Lie there still and I'll kiss you

Oh how I've missed you

Sleeper awake



You've slept for a thousand years but

But not like sleeping beauty

Maybe you're the princess who refused to do her duty



No poison spinning wheel

No blood upon the singer

You just buried your alarm

And turned off the phone ringer



Sleeper arise

Wipe the sleep from your eyes

Get out of your bed

Quit playing dead

Sleeper awake

How much time does it take?

Lie there still and I'll kiss you

Oh how I've missed you



Oh but I'm scared

One touch of your cold lips I will join you there

But I don't care

This is a risk

This is a risk

This is a kiss

This is a kiss



Sleeper arise

Wipe the sleep from your eyes

Get out of your bed

Quit playing dead

Sleeper awake

How much time does it take?

Lie there still and I'll kiss

I can't resist you

Sleeper awake



Sleeper awake
