Lyrics

Ignoring the walls that surround me piling up the beer cans at my feet
While I’m signing autographs for my fans who hound me
Who won’t leave me alone for a bite to eat
So the last thing I need from you is the news that the rent’s past due
And the gasman came today to turn off the heat

Let me sleep let me dream
Let me go on thinking things aren’t as they seem
Kick my dog sleep with my wife
But please don’t spoil my fantasy life fantasy life

Rolling up in the back of a limousine dressed to kill and a model on each hip
Been a long time gone and it’s good to be seen
By my friends who never thought I’d amount to zip
So the last thing I need to hear is the school reunion was last year
And I couldn’t scrape up the bus fare for the trip

Let me sleep . . .

And my heart will surely break as your hands shake me awake
And I realize my whole life has been a fake

Let me sleep . . .
