john wesley harding - sleepy people lyrics

[chorus]
sleepy people—look what you’ve done
look what you didn’t do
sleepy people—are you up with the sun?
no, you just slept right through

[verse 1]
out in the rain
they are taking the strain
on the rope of the shapeless new day
at quarter past seven
they’re banished from heaven
but there’s no complaint
from the latter day saints
or the raincoat and umbrella girls
who open their shoe stores
and there’s no excuse for
[chorus]
sleepy peoplе—look what you’ve done
look what you didn’t do
sleepy peoplе—are you up with the sun?
no, you just slept right through

[verse 2]
back in the gloom
of a bedroom that’s baffled
the tomb that is soundproofed and still
until a half past
when there’s movement at last
but you faked us all out
with that little about turn
that shifting upon your right side
it’s just eyelid flutter
a groan and a mutter from

[chorus]
sleepy people—look what you’ve done
look what you didn’t do
sleepy people—are you up with the sun?
maybe the world dreams you, you, you

[outro]
sleepy people—when i’m jumping the gun
oh, how i envy you
