Sleeping is like living like it starts so slow Like you're 20 years old before you pick up the tempo No it's not funny Oh no it's not funny I hear you laughing but I swear it's not funny You think it's humorous the way we fade away But one day you'll feel it too and this is what you'll say: I've had too much sleep, too much sleep, I've slept too much I slept way too much, I really overslept
I could've been awake but I slept way too much Oh I can sleep safely in the u.s.a Or I could've been out in the sun all day Or had too much sleep, too much sleep... I've spent a lot of time up in harlem And even more in the far east I never fought for my country Or from the belly of the beast 'Cause I got plenty aggravation I can't seem to get too much sleep
