Sleep

Boo Hewerdine

The daisy that opens at first ray of light
Then closes again as the day becomes night
We are all slaves to the sun

Everyone
Everyone

The billionaire in his tower of greed
Stayin' up late just to get what we need
There is no one who's so strong

Everyone
Everyone
Has to sleep

And though you might think that you are in love
Somehow it comes from that star up above
Even the words of this song

Everyone
Everyone
Has to sleep

But life is a dream
And we dream our lives away

Everyone
Everyone

And from the moment that we are all born
We're marathon dancers who sway until dawn
Until the music has gone

Everyone
Everyone
Has to sleep

But life is a dream
And we dream our lives
Dream our lives away

Everyone
Everyone
Has to sleep
