Text: John Wesley Harding. Sleeper, Awake.

Rise up from your deep sleep, baby
Wake up from your slumber
I?ve got your anesthetic ready
I have got your number

I?ll do everything to help you
Make a smooth transition
The coffee?s in the grinder
The key?s in the ignition

Sleeper, arise
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
Get outta your bed
Quit playing dead

Sleeper, awake
How much time does it take?
Lie there still and I?ll kiss you
Oh, how I?ve missed you
Sleeper, awake

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

Sleeper, arise
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
Get outta your bed
Quit playing dead

Sleeper, awake
How much time does it take?
Lie there still and I?ll kiss you
Oh, how I?ve missed you
Sleeper, awake

Ah, but I?m scared
One touch of your cold cold lips
Perhaps I?ll join you there
But I don?t care
This is a risk, this is a risk
This is a kiss, this is a kiss

Sleeper, arise
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
Get outta your bed
Quit playing dead

Sleeper, awake
How much time does it take?
Lie there still and I?ll kiss you
I can?t resist you
Sleeper, awake
