Oversleeping

OVERSLEEPING
- CARAVAN RAY

Well, the morning filters through the vertical slats of my conciousness to illuminate the dark and dusty space inside my head
My brain begins a-functioning, questioning and wondering and impressing on my weary bones that they should move ahead
And drag me out of bed

But why should I bother?
I'll sleep till tomorrow
I got nothing better to do
I'll stare at the ceiling
It sounds so appealing
I wish it could be true

Why did I agree to be part of this society why can't the world just turn around and conform itself to me?
The world's a nicer place to be when considered horizontally, why can't you people listen to the things that I have said
And get back into bed

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba bah

The rising sun assults me
Oblivious to my screams
Pull back the curtain, my eyeball is hurtin'
Leave me to my dreams
My sweet dreams
My doona and I, we make a good team

Oversleeping, by 15-16 puzzle

I've been oversleeping
Since you've been sleeping over
I just can't seem to get out of bed
When you're there

The sunrise seems familiar
But still it seems ignorable
And horribly not what I'd call fair

It's too hard concentrating
On trading in these consciences
For something we'd be able to put to good use

I've never been discrete
But I'll try and keep it secret-like
And cover all the glaring clues

Like when we laugh too long for reasons that no one can surmise
Or when we loiter around the fax machine that nobody likes to use
If they don't have to
Or when we smile, wink and yawn at the very same time

I've been oversleeping
Since you've been sleeping over
I just can't seem to get out of bed
When you're there

The sunrise seems familiar
But still it seems ignorable
And horribly not what I'd call fair

It's too hard concentrating
On trading in these consciences
For something we'd be able to put to good use

I've never been discrete
But I'll try and keep it secret-like
And cover all the glaring clues

Oversleeping
by Truth and Regret (Mark Ridlen)

(there have been some changes, but this is pretty close)

fingers smash
the snooze alarm
twenty separate times
roll over
and go back
to my special place

pre chorus
I try to get
back to dreaming
aah
but it's getting
harder and harder
to sleep

chorus
But these passing dreams are fleeting
Everyday I take a beating
Nothing in my life is keeping
keeping me from oversleeping

dreams flash
before my eyes
until the beeping starts
hit the snooze
and I am back
into my blissful sleep

Oversleeping by Johnny Cashpoint

Lately I've been oversleeping, made me late for morning meetings
I expect a workplace beating for my abysmal timekeeping -

No-one rings cos no-one cares if I'm OK, why I'm not there;
Just a cog in large machine - my presence don't mean anything at all

So what if I missed your meeting? Some-one will arrange the seating,
Make the coffee and meet & greeting - I know when a man not's needed

No-one rings to ask me why - I could live or I could die;
Slowly rot here in my bed, they'd just employ a chimpanzee instead

I could lie here for a year and no-one would come round to see
If I was alive. Meanwhile they would promote that chimpanzee ...

Guess I should ring in, but I can't get out of my bed
I'm not oversleeping, baby, I'm already dead (as dead can be)

Oversleeping by Melvin

Sleeping in
I don't count the hours
In the sky
The hot sun's just killing flowers

When your day
is filled with dark and sorrow
I'm tucked away
unaware it's even tomorrow

Might come a day
when I get tired of dreaming
But this afternoon
Reality can't match this feeling

I'm not oversleeping
I'm just keeping my dreams alive

Oversleeping by DJ Snyder, Del Sess, & Drizzy G

[Now I must proceed!]

Oversleeping since I was born
No time to stop, no time for me to mourn
Jumping off the clock and slowing down time
Trying to wake up the rest of my mind
Wake up, wake up, the clock in my head
Didn't get a chance before I was dead
Oversleeping once again
Oversleeping in my head
Finally, it's time to see
That I am free
No more sleep
Finally, it's all for me
Now I'm free
No more sleep

[Cutting and scratching!]

Calling out to God for the answers of my life
Put me back to sleep and left me out to die
Sitting in a room and I ask myself why?
Oversleeping, the story of my life
Get up, Get up, tick tock in my head
Didn't get a chance before I was dead
Oversleeping once again
Oversleeping in my head
Finally, it's time to see
That I am free
No more sleep
Finally, it's all for me
Now I'm free
No more sleep
No more sleep
No more sleep
No more sleep

I take no responsibility for these lyrics >.>

Oversleeping by Ross Durand

God Damn! I guess I slept through “snooze" again
Should I go in late or should I just call in?
My job is on the line, but I guess that’s what I get for oversleeping

The sirens woke me up, I flipped the TV on.
By the time the coffee brewed tower one was gone
That coulda been me, but I guess that’s what I get for oversleeping

When tower two went down my heart went straight to hell
Was there something that I could have done if I had been at work as well
But instead I was just oversleeping

And every day now I wake up in a sweat
It shoulda been me up there but I guess that’s what I get
The restless guilt of mere survival is one hell of a curse for oversleeping
