While You Were Sleeping

While you were sleeping your babies grew

The stars shined and the shadows moved

Time flew the phone rang

There was a silence when the kitchen sang

Its songs competed like kids for space

We stared for hours in our maker?s face

They gave us picks said "go mine the sun

And go gold and come back when you're done"

Uh ohWhile you were sleeping you tossed you turned

You rolled your eyes as the world burned

The heavens fell the earth quaked

I thought you must be but you weren't awake, no

You were dreaming you ignored the sun

You grew your power garden for your little ones

And you found brides for them on Christmas Eve

They hung young Cain from the Adam trees

And danced uh oh

While you were sleeping I tossed and I turned too

I closed my eyes but the future burned through

The planet turned a hair grey as I relived the dayWhile you were sleeping the money died

Machines were harmless and the earth sighed

The wind you swept sound and gravity brought my love

Around

The oceans rose sang about decay

The witches flew and the mermaids stayed

Full of dreams you overslept

In keeping with the quiet through the walls I crept

I walked on tip-toes sent darkness swirling over all

The kitchen

In the early morning

Uh oh uh ohI'll never catch up to you who sleep so sound

My yawns are useless my heart beats too loud

To go to sleep my mind's too proud to bow out

While you were sleeping the time changed

All your things were rearranged

Your vampire mirrors face to face

They saw forever out into space and found you dreaming

In black and white

While it rained in all the colors of the night

Uh oh uh ohI watched the tv?s memories champion ships vanish to sea

Can it be my honey between you and me

So I waited for the riddled sky to be solved again by

Sunrise

And I made a death soup for life

For my father?s ill widowed wife

Did you have that strangest dream before you woke

'Cause in your gown you had the butterfly stroke

Did it escape you like some half-told joke

When you reached for your plume of smokeAnd it'll haunt you my honey bee

Anyone who's anyone has that same dream

Were you falling were you flying and were you calling

Out or were you dying

But thank god you're up now let's stay this way

Else there'll be no mornings and no more days

'Cause when we?re dreaming the babies grow

The stars shine and the shadows flow

Time flies the phone rings there is a silence

When everybody tries to sing

Uh oh uh oh

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
