I'd Rather Be Sleeping - You, Me, And Everyone We Know

There’s a place we can go, we can go

Where every scratcher’s a winner

It’s ice cream for dinner

'Cause as I recall, life’s not quite been a ball

So we’ll be heading upstairs

And slipping out of these cares

Everything I’ve ever wanted is just as possible

As growing up and feeling haunted

By the missteps that I’ve had

Give up, give in with no delay

Do you want to find some peace today?

Yeah, yeah

Push the dirt on top of me

I’ll be shooting shit with Mephistopheles

I could use a break from all this misery

I can think of no place I would rather be in my dreams

Put on a face for the show

They won’t know that you’ve been kept quite awake

By life’s yard full of rakes

It’s been a knock on the face

Every step, every pace

So I’ll be heading with haste

Where every fear is replaced by

A slimmer waist and broader shoulders

Did I mention I can fly?

And I never felt so devalued

Never had to wonder why

I had dreams like this, I hated

But it made me who I am so I’ll take it

Yeah, yeah!

Push the dirt on top of me

I’ll be shooting shit with Mephistopheles

I could use a break from all this misery

I can think of no place I would rather be in my dreams

Down, down, down, down, down

Yeah

Push the dirt on top of me

I’ll be shooting shit with Mephistopheles

I could use a break from all this misery

I can think of no place I would rather be in my dreams

Push the dirt on top of me

I’ll be shooting shit with Mephistopheles

I could use a break from all this misery

I can think of no place I would rather be in my dreams
