Sleeper, Awake Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

Rise up from your deep sleep, baby 

Wake up from your slumber 

Ive got your anesthetic ready 

I have got your number 

Ill do everything to help you 

Make a smooth transition 

The coffees in the grinder 

The keys in the ignition 

Sleeper, arise 

Wipe the sleep from your eyes 

Get outta your bed 

Quit playing dead 

Sleeper, awake 

How much time does it take? 

Lie there still and Ill kiss you 

Oh, how Ive missed you 

Sleeper, awake 

Youve slept for a thousand years 

But not like Sleeping Beauty 

Maybe youre the princess 

Who refused to do her duty 

No poisoned spinning wheel 

No blood upon the singer 

You just buried your alarm 

And turned off the phone ringer 

Sleeper, arise 

Wipe the sleep from your eyes 

Get outta your bed 

Quit playing dead 

Sleeper, awake 

How much time does it take? 

Lie there still and Ill kiss you 

Oh, how Ive missed you 

Sleeper, awake 

Ah, but Im scared 

One touch of your cold cold lips 

Perhaps Ill join you there 

But I dont care 

This is a risk, this is a risk 

This is a kiss, this is a kiss 

Sleeper, arise 

Wipe the sleep from your eyes 

Get outta your bed 

Quit playing dead 

Sleeper, awake 

How much time does it take? 

Lie there still and Ill kiss you 

I cant resist you 

Sleeper, awake
