Sound-A-Sleep Lyrics

by Deborah Harry, Chris Stein

Close your eyes and you will see
Microflashing neon lights
Open your eyes and you will see
It still looks like the same thing 
Lie and wait for sleep and listen
To your heart beat too fast for sleep

Close your eyes and you will see
The sound-a-sleep
I want to go 
I want to grow
I want to go down to go to sleep

Your frame of reference
Is my swimming pool
My mind swimming pool
Still looks like the China Sea
Pool to sea
And finally
The sound-a-sleep

Feel the moist sense in your face
Twist relax remembering
Everything that went down
And will go down
I want to go down
To sleep

Insomnia no sleep disease
Petty's parking feed me please
Lie and wait for sleep and listen
To your heart beat too fast for sleep
