Sleep Walk Songtext
von Pere Ubu

It ain′t me
I walk the line brother
It ain't me
On the high wire
It ain′t me
Calculate how far I can fall
It ain't nothin!
Somewhere
I see a face in a stream
I watch the dust in a beam
I work harder harder
To break away
From the grip of a dream
On a high wire
I live
And I breathe it
On a high wire
Oh no
Will I never be?


It ain't me
Don′t watch the sky brother
It ain′t me
Or the ground far below
It ain't me
Or speculate how far I can fall
It ain′t nothin!
On a high wire
I live
And I breathe it
On a high wire
Oh no
Will I never be?

It ain't me
I walk the line brother
It ain′t me
On the high wire
It ain't me
Calculate how far I can fall
It ain′t nothin!
Somewhere
I see a face in a stream
I watch the dust in a beam
I work harder harder
To break away
From the grip of a dream
On a high wire
I live
And I breathe it
On a high wire
Oh no
Will I never be free?
