Behind the Wall of Sleep

    by Smithereens

INTRO  GGG Em



G					Em

She had hair like JEANNIE SHIPTON back in 1965

C			D

She had legs the never ended

Em

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



G		Em

Now i LIE IN BED and think of her

G		Em

sometimes i even weep

C

then I dream of HER

D		Em

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 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

behind the wall of sleep

behind the WALL of sleep

behind the WALL of SLEEP.
