Sleeper Awake Lyrics by John Wesley Harding

Adam’s Apple

0

[Verse 1]
Rise up from your deep sleep, baby
Wake up from your slumber
I've got your anaesthetic ready
And I have got your number
I'll do anything to help you
Make a smooth transition
The coffee's in the grinder
And the key's in the ignition

[Chorus]
Sleeper arise!
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
Get out of your bed
Quit playing dead
Sleeper awake!
How much time's it take?
Lie there still and I'll kiss you
Oh, how I've missed you
Sleeper awake!

[Verse 2]
You've slept for a thousand years
But not like sleeping beauty
Maybe you're the princess
Who refused to do her duty
No poisoned spinning wheel
No blood upon the singer
You just buried your alarm
And turned off the phone ringer

[Chorus]
Sleeper arise!
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
Get out of your bed
Quit playing dead
Sleeper awake!
How much time's it take?
Lie there still and I'll kiss you
Oh, how I've missed you
Sleeper awake!

[Bridge]
Oh, but I'm scared
One touch of your cold lips, I will join you there
But I don't care
This is a risk, this is a risk
This is a kiss, this is a kiss

[Chorus]
Sleeper arise!
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
Get out of your bed
Quit playing dead
Sleeper awake!
How much time's it take?
Lie there still and I'll kiss you
I can't resist you
Sleeper awake!
Sleeper awake!
