Behind The Wall Of Sleep Lyrics - Smithereens

She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965 

She had legs that never ended 

I was halfway paralyzed 

She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal 

If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul 

Now I lie in bed and think of her 

Sometimes I even weep 

Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep 

Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band 

And she stood just like Bill Wyman 

Now I am her biggest fan 

Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend 

And I've got to find a way to let you know I'm not like them

Now I lie in bed and think of her 

Sometimes I even weep 

Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep 

Now I lie in bed and think of her 

Sometimes I even weep 

Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep 

Got your number from a friend of mine who lives in your home town 

Called you up to have a drink 

Your roommate said you weren't around 

Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend 

And I've just got to find a way to let you know I'm not like them

Now I lie in bed and think of her 

Sometimes I even weep 

Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep 

Behind the wall of sleep 

Behind the wall of sleep 

Behind the wall of sleep
