Sleep In
from Before They Sold Out: Part 1 by Common Shiner
lyrics
The greatest of battles takes place in my head
On Sundays when the world's asleep on its head
As long as I've lived in The Land of the Dead
A small voice has said,
"Don't pay attention to me
I destroy all that I see"
So I'll sleep in
What difference does it make?
None
It's always been the same!
Yeah
I'll sleep 'til it's won
Sleep 'til it's one
Sleep 'til it's won
Across the canyon there sleeps a great owl
Whose whooing is silent and intake quite fowl
But don't wake him up or he'll spit it all out
Out on the ground
Don't pay attention to me
I'll destroy all that I see
So I'll sleep in
What difference does it make?
None
It's always been the same!
Yeah
I'll sleep 'til it's won
Sleep 'til it's one
Until it's all won
Don't pay attention to me
We'll destroy all that we see
Sleep in
What difference does it make?
None
It's always been the same
Yeah
Oh I will sleep 'til it's won
Sleep 'til it's won
Until it's all won
Sleep 'til it's done
Sleep 'til it's won
Sleep 'til it's won
Until it's all one
On Sundays when the world's asleep on its head
As long as I've lived in The Land of the Dead
A small voice has said,
"Don't pay attention to me
I destroy all that I see"
So I'll sleep in
What difference does it make?
None
It's always been the same!
Yeah
I'll sleep 'til it's won
Sleep 'til it's one
Sleep 'til it's won
Across the canyon there sleeps a great owl
Whose whooing is silent and intake quite fowl
But don't wake him up or he'll spit it all out
Out on the ground
Don't pay attention to me
I'll destroy all that I see
So I'll sleep in
What difference does it make?
None
It's always been the same!
Yeah
I'll sleep 'til it's won
Sleep 'til it's one
Until it's all won
Don't pay attention to me
We'll destroy all that we see
Sleep in
What difference does it make?
None
It's always been the same
Yeah
Oh I will sleep 'til it's won
Sleep 'til it's won
Until it's all won
Sleep 'til it's done
Sleep 'til it's won
Sleep 'til it's won
Until it's all one
