Wasteside Lyrics

Wasteside lyrics

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow

But it's better than sleeping by the wasteside of today

All the barbershops and funeral-homes were open

And the customers were coming

And the business was doing great



I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow

Just dreaming dreams and drooling on my bed

All the people in my town would be born

Then they'd get themselves a little hair cut

And then promptly after they'd be dead



I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow

When a drunk girl awoke me on the train

But I did not hear her mumbling and I did not hear her stumbling

As I dubbed myself a passenger

And kindly stepped away



I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow, of tomorrow

I was sleeping, I was sleeping by the wasteside

I was sleeping, I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow

I was sleeping, ladies and gentlemen, I was sleeping



I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow

But it's better than sleeping by the wasteside of today

All the barbershops, funeral-homes were open

And the customers were coming

And the business was doing so, so great
