Lyrics
SLEEP MISSION
Now the sun he has stretched out along the horizon
Spilling his paint high and low
And the moon and the stars will be right there to guide him
Down to that place where he goes
So close your eyes, 'cause there's nothing you'll be missing
The weight of the world drops away
Yeah close your eyes, 'cause you're on a Sleep Mission
And the world it will still be a-spinnin' around when you wake
Now the things that go bump in the dark don't alarm us
We've been there and done that before
And the shadows all belong to big friendly monsters
With warm fuzzy hearts at the core
So close your eyes, 'cause there's nothing you'll be missing
The weight of the world drops away
Yeah close your eyes, 'cause you're on a Sleep Mission
And the world it will still be a-spinnin' around when you wake
Now the sun he has stretched out along the horizon
Spilling his paint high and low
And the moon and the stars will be right there to guide him
Down to that place where he goes
So close your eyes, 'cause there's nothing you'll be missing
The weight of the world drops away
Yeah close your eyes, 'cause you're on a Sleep Mission
And the world it will still be a-spinnin' around when you wake
