Sleeping In The Flowers Lyrics - John Henry - They Might Be Giants

I got a crush 

copy shop clerk 

but she won't look up at me 

don't want to be known as the freak 

who just comes around to catch her eye 

We could be sleeping in the flowers 

we could sleep all afternoon 

you'd proclaim that you're an island 

i'd proclaim that i'm one too 

then we float into the harbor 

with just piers and boats around 

i declare that i am england 

you declare that i have drowned 

I got a ride 

home with a drunk guy 

how ungrateful i must have seemed 

he showed me how 

to spin my head round and round 

We could be sleeping in the flowers 

we could sleep all afternoon 

you'd proclaim that you're an island 

i'd proclaim that i'm one too 

then we float into the harbor 

with just piers and boats around 

i declare that i am england 

you declare that i have drowned

We could be sleeping in the flowers 

we could sleep all afternoon 

you'd proclaim that you're an island 

i'd proclaim that i'm one too 

then we float into the harbor 

with just piers and boats around 

i declare that i am england 

you declare that i have drowned 

We'll be sleeping in the flowers 

tell my boss that i've been fired 

we'll be sleeping in the flowers 

tell my boss that i've been fired 

we'll be sleeping in the flowers 

tell my boss i'm fired 

we'll be sleeping in the flowers 

tell my boss i'm fired

The dial-a-song lyrics are unclear. the following is the best guess at this time. 

Dogs' masters stay off 'em 

bugs stay off 'em 

dogs' masters stay off 'em 

bugs stay off 'em 

Now we're sleeping in the flowers 

and we'll sleep all afternoon 

you proclaim that you're an island 

i proclaim that i'm one too 

Dogs' masters stay off 'em 

bugs stay off 'em 

dogs' masters stay off 'em 

bugs stay off 'em 

Now we're sleeping in the flowers 

and we'll sleep all afternoon 

you proclaim that you're an island 

i proclaim that i'm one too 

Then we float into the harbor 

with our piers and boats around 

i declare that i am england 

you declare that i have drowned 

Now we're sleeping in the flowers 

and we'll sleep all afternoon 

you proclaim that you're an island 

i proclaim that i'm one too 

Then we float into the harbor 

with our piers and boats around 

i declare that i am england 

you declare that i have drowned
