I’d Rather Be Sleeping

[Verse 1]
There's a place we can go, we can go
Where every scratcher's a winner
It's ice cream for dinner
'Cause as I recall, life's not quite been a ball
So we'll be heading upstairs
And slipping out of these cares
Everything I've ever wanted is just as possible
As growing up and feeling haunted
By the missteps that I've had
Give up, give in with no delay
Do you want to find some peace today?
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Push the dirt on top of me
I'll be shooting shit with Mephistopheles
I could use a break from all this misery
I can think of no place I would rather be in my dreams

[Verse 2]
Put on a face for the show
They won't know that you've been kept quite awake
By life's yard full of rakes
It's been a knock on the face
Every step, every pace
So I'll be heading with haste
Where every fear is replaced by
A slimmer waist and broader shoulders
Did I mention I can fly?
And I never felt so devalued
Never had to wonder why
I had dreams like this, I hated
But it made me who I am so I'll take it
Yeah, yeah!

[Chorus]
Push the dirt on top of me
I'll be shooting shit with Mephistopheles
I could use a break from all this misery
I can think of no place I would rather be in my dreams

[Bridge]
Down, down, down, down, down
Yeah

[Chorus]
Push the dirt on top of me
I'll be shooting shit with Mephistopheles
I could use a break from all this misery
I can think of no place I would rather be in my dreams
Push the dirt on top of me
I'll be shooting shit with Mephistopheles
I could use a break from all this misery
I can think of no place I would rather be in my dreams
