Sleepwalking (Nur Ein III)
I don't remember which medication
They were going on about,
I just remember thinking that the
Side effects sounded pretty bad,
And I don't recall just what condition
That pill was supposed to fix
I just remember thinking if it was
Anything that I had,
Based on what I'd heard about the remedies
I might be better off with the disease
(than to go)
Sleepwalking - to the doctor
Sleepwalking - to the drugstore
Sleepwalking - to the bathroom
Get a glass of H20
Sleepreading - past the warnings
Sleepstumbling - through my morning
Sleepdriving - off to work I go:
When I might be better off just saying no.
I know my hairline's in retreat
And there's a bunch of foods I shouldn't eat
Certain parts of my equipment
Don't work the way they did.
I know there's a chance it'll make me sick
But I really want that super dick
And the scalp of someone half my age...
Who'm I trying to kid?
After all these years, I still ain't figured out
Getting old is what this sport is all about.
(still, we go)
(chorus)
Modern medicine has done some wond'rous things;
I know my mom would be a mess
Without her daily Aricept
But it's the mission of the guys down in Marketing
To keep all of us believing
Every day there's one new reason (to go)
(chorus)

Re: Nur Ein III Lyrics
Sleepwalking
by Spud
as recorded by Octothorpe
The alarm goes off,
But she doesn't even hear it.
She sleeps on the left,
Cuz on that side, she's near it.
I say "hey honey",
"Why can't you hear that ring?"
She says "Oh my God!",
"What is that furry thing?"
Because she's SLEEPWALKING,
Right there in the bed. (Right beside the bed)
I'm sure she's SLEEPWALKING,
Doesn't even move her head.
My wife is SLEEPWALKING
That is what I said,
That's right, she's SLEEPWALKING,
And she'll do it 'til she's dead.
She's getting out of bed now,
Shuffling across the floor.
Walking down the hall,
And straight into a door.
She's saying something crazy,
"It's got me by the knees!"
Or maybe I misheard that,
It must have been Chinese.
CHORUS
Next time it will be Willy,
I'm sure it's coming soon.
She'll claim he's on his hind legs,
Barking at a racoon.
Or maybe it will be Laura,
Floating through the air,
That happened only yesterday,
I know, cuz I was there.

Re: Nur Ein III Lyrics
Sleepwalking
by Ross Durand
Well she comes around every night just about this time
And again for a fleeting moment she
But when I wake I’m alone again
It’s hard to say just where I’ve been
But I prefer it
To here
Don’t wake me up
I like the space I’m in - between now and then
It’s the only time I see her
She’s been walking in my sleep again
My eyes are closed, my hands are stll but I might be tremblin
But she doesn’t care and after all I'm just remembrin’
But it’s all to real to me
And there’s nowhere I’d rather be
I sure prefer it
to here
Don't wake me up........
It’s been too long since she said goodbye
the only way I can see her is to close my eyes
Don’t Wake me up.........

Sleepwalking, by 15-16 puzzle
I could listen to your stories
For a thousand hours
Heard 'em all a thousand times before
Your sleepwalking roommate
Who tries to change the dosage
For every patient on the floor
The things that you carried
In your cardboard suitcase
The shrunken head won't make it through
The beetles in the fire
The devil's in the details
I wonder what all's true
Oh, it's hard to tell you some things, cuz we both know what you'll do
But the shit that people like about me, that all comes from you
So I'll call your house this Sunday, say hello to you and Don
And I'll tell you things that don't fit in this song
Yes, it's hard to tell you some things, after all that we've been through
But the shit that people like about me, I get that from you
So I'll call your house this Sunday if my phone gets turned back on
Cuz it's hard to say I love you in a song
I could listen to your stories
For a million hours
Heard 'em all a million times
I could listen to your stories
For a thousand hours
Heard 'em all a thousand times before
Your sleepwalking roommate
Who tries to change the dosage
For every patient on the floor
The things that you carried
In your cardboard suitcase
The shrunken head won't make it through
The beetles in the fire
The devil's in the details
I wonder what all's true
Oh, it's hard to tell you some things, cuz we both know what you'll do

Sleepwalking - Paco del Stinko
I am sleepwalking
And so are you
Oh where will we go?
Oh what will we do?
Did we follow a shepard?
Are we only sheep?
If this is a dream
Why are we on our feet?
You can hear her talking
I hear only him
Sinking underwater
You know I can't swim
How'd we get this far?
Won't you hold my hand?
I don't love your daughter
And I'm not your man
We're not alone
Out on the street
Far away from home
Somnambulate
As we migrate
Where the cattle roam
We are sleepwalking
Without a single thought
Please don't ever wake us
Just like you were taught
Will we remain safe?
Always living in this state?
Or will we open our eyes
To see we were too late?
I am sleepwalking with you
I am sleepwalking
And so are you
Oh where will we go?
Oh what will we do?
Did we follow a shepard?
Are we only sheep?
If this is a dream
Why are we on our feet?
You can hear her talking
I hear only him
Sinking underwater
You know I can't swim
How'd we get this far?
Won't you hold my hand?
I don't love your daughter
And I'm not your man
We're not alone
Out on the street
Far away from home
Somnambulate
As we migrate
Where the cattle roam
We are sleepwalking
Without a single thought
Please don't ever wake us
Just like you were taught
Will we remain safe?
Always living in this state?
Or will we open our eyes
To see we were too late?
I am sleepwalking with you
Bringin' the stink since 2006.

Re: Nur Ein III Lyrics
Sleepwalking
- Tex Beaumont and the Dirty Hearts
I woke up this morning with the vomit-mouthin, dirty-hearted blues
Lying in my bed in my high-heeled blue-suede dancin' shoes
6 strawberry flavoured condoms in my pocket - 3 of them were used
Ahhhhhhhh
Na na na
Sleepwalker
There's a man they say looks like me round this town
Out every night at the club sonambulating around
And he charms all the ladies, though he never makes a sound
Ahhhhhhhh
Na na na
Sleepwalking

Re: Nur Ein III Lyrics
Sleepwalking by Sven
I can't tell if it's a dream
The sun was warm, the clouds serene
The summer air was fragrant
And the breeze-
Was sending shivers through the leaves
As the day became the night
We marvelled at the fading light
And in the dark we whispered
Words so deep
Promises we'd never keep
Don't wake me- don't wake me up
Don't wake me- don't wake me up
Don't take me- don't take me back to my room
Don't wake me- don't wake me up
I can't tell if it's a dream
The sun was warm, the clouds serene
The summer air was fragrant
And the breeze-
Was sending shivers through the leaves
As the day became the night
We marvelled at the fading light
And in the dark we whispered
Words so deep
Promises we'd never keep
Don't wake me- don't wake me up
Don't wake me- don't wake me up
Don't take me- don't take me back to my room
Don't wake me- don't wake me up

Re: Nur Ein III Lyrics
I have wandered through the city
Into the fields beyond
Swam in water clear and dirty
No idea where I've gone
I've had half a dozen scares
Nearly fallen to my death
All the while I'm unaware
I've nearly taken my last breath
Well,
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Let me keep sleepwalking
If I never woke again
I would not shed a tear
You can have the world
I like it better in here
Dance in the road
Like there's music to hear
Let me talk to the sky
As if it has an ear
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Let me keep sleepwalking
Into the fields beyond
Swam in water clear and dirty
No idea where I've gone
I've had half a dozen scares
Nearly fallen to my death
All the while I'm unaware
I've nearly taken my last breath
Well,
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Let me keep sleepwalking
If I never woke again
I would not shed a tear
You can have the world
I like it better in here
Dance in the road
Like there's music to hear
Let me talk to the sky
As if it has an ear
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Let me keep sleepwalking

Sleep Walking
by Billy's Little Trip
-verse-
Woke up on the wrong side of the bed
So many times, I'd be better off dead
You found me
I found you
Together we're bad
and we're destined to lose
-chorus-
I've got to get right
Get up out of this turnstile
Walk away with a big smile
Find myself a another profile
Breaking away from you, from you
I can't find my sure thing
Wrapped up around you like a shoe string
I've got to break away
-verse-
You found out the worst way that you could
From your best friend that said that I shouldn't have should
You saw red
I did too
You sprayed my eyes with the pepper juice
-chorus-
I've got to get right
Get up out of this turnstile
Walk away with a big smile
Find myself a another profile
Breaking away from you, from you
I can't find my sure thing
Wrapped up around you like a shoe string
I've got to break away
-verse-
Woke up on the wrong side of the bed
so many times, I'd be better off dead
You found me
I found you
We're bad together
and we're destined to lose
-chorus-
I've got to get right
Get up out of this turnstile
Walk away with a big smile
Find myself a another profile
Breaking away from you, from you
I can't find my sha-sure thing
Wrapped up around you like a shoe string
I've got to break away
Breaking away from you, from you
I can't find my sure thing
Wrapped up around you like a shoe string
Breaking away from you

Sleepwalking - Frankie Big Face
You say I love you
From across the room
I say it back
Without looking at you.
A reflex learned
Is a decision lost
This automatic pilot
Doesn't come without a cost.
Unconscious thought
Can be a dangerous affair.
A Freudian slip becomes a
Tumble down the stairs.
Everywhere I go, it's like
I've seen this place before.
And I don't even know if I can
Feel things anymore
And I want to know the difference
And I want to know the difference
Are we sleepwalking
Through the best of our years?
Are we closing our eyes?
Are we covering our ears?
Is there nothing burning on the
Tip of our tongues?
Have we forgotten the tunes
To all the songs we have sung?
Are we sleepwalking?
It's time we learned our lessons
And go back from where we came
No need for pointing fingers
We'll absolve ourselves of blame
Let's move around the furniture
And give away our clothes
Sell our house and car
And take a train to wherever is goes.

Re: Nur Ein III Lyrics
Unnatural Disaster
by Spud
It veered to the left,
It veered to the right,
It was really doing some kind of crazy flight.
It flew up high,
And then it came down low,
It flew right past me in the middle of the night.
*CHORUS
What I saw that night,
It was unnatural.
Oh, what happened there,
It was weird.
I'm hard pressed to say,
Though some would disagree.
That one should use the word,
Di-sa-ster.
*END CHORUS
And then I saw a flash,
And I thought I heard a crash.
All in all, I must say, it gave me quite a fright.
When I got to the scene,
It was giving off steam,
And glowing all over with a really eerie light.
CHORUS
The the hatch flew open wide,
And I could see way down inside,
And what I saw down there, well it really wasn't right.
There was a party going on,
And then it spilled out to the lawn.
You know those crazy martians, they were really outa sight!
CHORUS
BRIDGE
They partied over here,
And they partied over there.
I sorta got the feeling that they really didn't care.
They offered me a beer,
And they offered me some food,
You know those crazy martians, they were really in the mood!

Sleepwalking - by MC Eric B
========================
I stumble my way
through paths in a maze
can't look towards the light
from under the haze
No laughs, no excitement
embrace the humdrum
trading pleasure and pain
for comfortably numb
Chorus
=====================
Sleepwalking by day
Sleepwalking at night
there's something inside
oh let it take flight
Sleepwalking around
through the halls of your life
unlock the door
and let it take flight
=====================
I pull back the scab
to see if I bleed
as time ticks away
we yearn to be free
I don't hear a word
though voices keep talking
just going through the motions
inside I'm sleepwalking
Chorus
=====================
Sleepwalking by day
Sleepwalking at night
there's something inside
oh let it take flight
Sleepwalking around
through the halls of your life
unlock the door
and let it take flight
=====================
and then I found you
and then I found you
Since I found you
I've been wide awake
like the world
I'd lived in was fake
I breath and
suddenly I'm alive
God gave me a
cosmic high five
As I step out the door
know what life's for
take my hand and
let's go for a ride
Chorus
=====================
I was...
sleepwalking by day
sleepwalking at night
until I found you
I was sleepwalking though life
sleepwalking by day
sleepwalking at night
I wanna be with you
for the rest of my life
for the rest of my life
oh the rest of my life
========================
I stumble my way
through paths in a maze
can't look towards the light
from under the haze
No laughs, no excitement
embrace the humdrum
trading pleasure and pain
for comfortably numb
Chorus
=====================
Sleepwalking by day

for the rest of my life
oh the rest of my life
