Asleep at the Helm Lyrics by Ed Harcourt

Elephant’s Graveyard

2005

[Verse 1]
You've dreamed for six days
You keep going
The road begins to sway
The headlights glowing
Your eyelids start to weaken
Your shoulders freeze
The moon shines like a beacon
The gentle breeze
[Chorus]
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
[Verse 2]
You can't stop at the station
There's no time
The certain destination
Weighs on your mind
The random new places
The pedal firmly down
The never-ending white lines
Painted on the ground
[Chorus]
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
Thеre's a car that follows close
Like a diеsel-driven ghost
From a junkyard head
You must be near the end
If you drive over the bend
'Cause you're asleep at the helm
You're asleep at the helm
You're asleep at the helm
