Sleepwalking Songtext
von Gerry Rafferty

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


(Hey-ey)
Sleep-sleepwalkin′
(Hey-ey)
Deep sleep talkin'
(Hey-ey)
Reelin′ and rockin'
(Hey-ey)
Wailin′ at the moon
(Hey-ey)
Sleep-sleepwalkin'
(Hey-ey)
Deep sleep talkin′
(Hey-ey)
Reelin' and rockin'
(Hey-ey)
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


(Hey-ey)
Sleep-sleepwalkin'
(Hey-ey)
Deep sleep talkin′
(Hey-ey)
Reelin′ and rockin'
(Hey-ey)
Wailin′ at the moon
(Hey-ey)
Sleep-sleepwalkin'
(Hey-ey)
Deep sleep talkin′
(Hey-ey)
Reelin' and rockin′
(Hey-ey)
Wailin' at the moon

People come, 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

(Hey-ey)
Sleep-sleepwalkin'
(Hey-ey)
Deep sleep talkin′
(Hey-ey)
Reelin' and rockin′
(Hey-ey)
Wailin' at the moon
(Hey-ey)
Sleep-sleepwalkin'
(Hey-ey)
Deep sleep talkin′
(Hey-ey)
Reelin′ and rockin'
(Hey-ey)
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

(Hey-ey)
Sleep-sleepwalkin'
(Hey-ey)
Deep sleep talkin′
(Hey-ey)
Reelin' and rockin′
(Hey-ey)
Wailin' at the moon
(Hey-ey)
Sleep-sleepwalkin'
(Hey-ey)
Deep sleep talkin′
(Hey-ey)
Reelin′ and rockin'
(Hey-ey)
Wailin′ at the moon
