lyrics

i use most of my days now for sleeping
i sleep sound through the closing bell
though all the stocking and bonding has them weeping
makes them important i suppose

will something wake me today?
will something wake me today? no

i'm fading, i'm fading
i'm holding on to the bedpost
they're wading through faces
we're dancing on our toes with our eyes closed

at noontime i was dreaming
all about my apropos glow
when the big sun peeled back my eyes
and with a sun-flare finger shake he said

it's all your fault
there's so much work to be done
it's all your fault
you're wasting my light
you're wasting your life

why must you wake me today?
why must you wake me today, sun?

i'm fading, i'm fading
i'm holding on to the bedpost
they're wading through faces
we're dancing on our toes with our eyes closed
