Out on the street and the rain is fallin`, I got nowhere to go
Here in my heart I can hear you callin` maybe I should come back home
I don`t know what keeps us together, but I can`t break the chain
I don`t mind a little stormy weather, but I just can`t stand the rain.
Sleepwalkin`, deep sleep talkin`, reelin` and rockin`, wailin` at the moon
Sleepwalkin`, deep sleep talkin`, reelin` and rockin`, wailin` at the moon.
Sleep won`t come so you lie there waitin`, lookin` at the silvery light
Tellin` yourself there`s nothin` new, so whatever gets you through the night
Meanwhile back in the music business the beat goes on and on
I sell my soul to the company man, when there`s nothin` else to lean upon.
Sleepwalkin`, deep sleep talkin`, reelin` and rockin`, wailin` at the moon
Sleepwalkin`, deep sleep talkin`, reelin` and rockin`, wailin` at the moon.
People come and people go, friends they disappear
There`s only one thing that I wanna know, tell me where do we go from here
Everybody`s on the make, everybody`s tryin` to get ahead
In a world like this you just exist to feed the walkin` dead.
Sleepwalkin`, deep sleep talkin`, reelin` and rockin`, wailin` at the moon
Sleepwalkin`, deep sleep talkin`, reelin` and rockin`, wailin` at the moon.
Lookin` out on a world gone crazy, waitin` for the fun to begin
The race is on yeah they`re gettin` ready, Jesus what a state we`re in
Meanwhile down in my backyard I`m sittin` doin` solitary
Now that I`ve milked the sacred cow, I just worry �bout the military.
Sleepwalkin`, deep sleep talkin`, reelin` and rockin`, wailin` at the moon
Sleepwalkin`, deep sleep talkin`, reelin` and rockin`, wailin` at the moon.
