Story Behind The Song

Monique came over to study, and eventually fell asleep, which she did often. Mike wrote this song in about 15 minutes while she was sleeping.

Song Description

Someone who is wasting too much time

Lyrics

Fell asleep on the bed. Now that will be twice.
Can?t bear to read anymore Renolds Price.
?Cause you?re trying to work and you?re trying to nap.
No sleep last night and no work in your lap.
You?re curled up in a ball, as ball as you can be.
But you?re so damn tall you look more like a fallen tree.

Few could probably tell that you?re usually not this meek.
But I?ll take it with a grain of salt since you?re sleeping, Monique.

You woke up for a cigarette, and pretended you were awake.
But napping on a pile of clothes does not a full night make.
You might have looked in your book, to see what you could see
But now you?re back at your former, dormant activity.
And maybe you?re not sleeping, you?re just resting your eyes.
And maybe I?m not smiling and seeing through all your lies.

It?s been a hell of a year getting through this week
It?s got to be a lot easier when your sleeping, Monique.

And the last thing you want, and the first thing you need
Is to stay awake and do your work.
But I suppose that?s hard to do, when I?m sitting right by you
With my big ol?, righteous smirk.

And when you?re awake you?ll bury those puffy cheeks
And I?ll wait to notice them ?till you?re once again sleeping, Monique.
