Lyrics:

Mumbling 'good morning' and raising my head
A bad breath kiss to my pillow pet
I take a look at the day, turn and stay in bed
Open my eyes when the day have died
I turned the world and I slept allright
Now my daymare is over I zip my shirt tight
Oh, Lord, won't you bless this night

From the pale lips of a youth who lay
(I'm sleeping my day away)
And when the night comes to the city I say
(I'm sleeping my day away)
Yeah, with my pale lips on the pillow I say
(I'm sleeping my day away)
'Cause after dark is the game I play
(I'm sleeping my day...)
I'm sleeping my day away

When my dreams begin
I'd be proud to be letting you in
With a smile on my face I guide your dreamboat in (your dreamboat in)
So if you wanna travel along with me
You better sleep tight the rest of the day
You see I could be a sleeper it's not rest I lack
'Cause I hit the sack when the suns coming back

From the pale lips of a youth who lay
(I'm sleeping my day away)
And when the night comes to the city I say
(I'm sleeping my day away)
Yeah, with my pale lips in the pillow I say
(I'm sleeping my day away)
'Cause after dark is the game I play
(I'm sleeping my day...)
I'm sleeping my day... (I'm sleeping my day...) away

And with the pale lips of a youth who lay
I'm sleeping my day away
And when the night comes to the city I say
I'm sleeping my day away
Oh, with my pale lips in the pillow I say
I'm sleeping my day away
'Cause after dark is the game I play
I'm sleeping my day... (I'm sleeping my day...) away


(I'm sleeping my day away)
I have to turn the world, I did it again
(I'm sleeping my day away)
And now I have to wear my shades down sleeper's lane
(I'm sleeping my day away)
Have all the good people gone to bed again?
(I'm sleeping my day away)
Yeah, the devil's at work here inside my brain
I'm sleeping my day away, away, away
