Sleep Lyrics


When I woke up this morning
you were so far away from me
And I knew it was a warning
of an empty space in between
Feeling free when I'm with you
But knowing I'm not far away from home
Now what am I supposed to do,
when the answers all come out wrong
And I need something to help me sleep
When I know you're not good for me
And I need something I can keep
From the empty space in between
From the empty space in between
You treated me like a goddess
When we were around everyone else
How come you couldn't notice me
When I was standing by myself

And I need something to help me sleep
When I know you're not good for me
And I need something I can keep
From the empty space in between
From the empty space in between
Something to help me, Something to help me, Something to help me to sleep
Something to help me, Something to help me, Something to help me to sleep

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

From their name on down, the San Francisco-based Spent Poets flirted with pretension at every move. Lead singer Adam Gates' lyrics dropped references both literary and pop-cultural (Virginia Woolf and other suicidal female writers, the Beatles, and Syd Barrett were particular obsessions), and the group's lavish version of neo-psychedelia includes spoken interludes, found sounds, tape-effect extravaganzas, and exotic, sometimes bizarre instrumentation. Yet the wit and melodic invention of the group's sole album keeps the group from tipping over into preciousness...usually.
