Sleep Without The Dreams Songtext
von Gumshoes

A deaf disco dancer does the hustle offbeat
In a rusted roller rink
And every cover band is a backup plan
Just trying to stay in sync
I′m eating fake pizza and drinking kid wine
I'm sober to a fault
And all I wanna be is where my heart can′t see
The chlorine in the salt

I always beat the traffic
Can't dance on broken heels
A tapestry of neon
Deflects off spinning wheels


It's always as it seems
Just sleep without the dreams
Waiting on the wire
But lord, I′m tired

There′s a singing voice clipping on the radio
Butchering 'all things must pass′
A stuttered street lamp strikes the spelling bee champ
Who man's the diesel gas
I′m flipping over pillows, I'm a wall away
I pretend I didn′t hear
The neighbors and their friends sing "it isn't the end
It's a happy new year"

Someone ought to tell them
But I′ve not got the gut
I′m a battered beetle
Pumping perfect blood


Oh god it's as it seems
Just sleep without the dreams
Waiting on the wire
But lord, I′m tired
