From here to there to everywhere And back to Union Square Where do I get some sleep? Anywhere the sleep dust lies It decorates your eyes Where do I get some sleep? Stranded in June Whistling the same old tune But I do believe I might be having fun I believe I might be having fun Impeccably dressed in your second hand vest We were waiting for the taxi to come Putting on my daytime eyes A good enough disguise Until I get some sleep Reading out the horoscopes And using up our jokes When do we get to sleep? Stand on the moon Find the light of my living room Yes I do believe I might be having fun I believe I might be having fun Tune into the station Make a dedication This is going out to everyone This is going out to everyone This is going out to everyone Something in the phrasing was quietly amazing We were waiting for the chorus to come This is going out to everyone This is going out to everyone From here to there to everywhere And back to union square Where do I get some sleep? Anywhere the sleep dust lies It decorates your eyes When do I get some sleep? Stranded in June Whistling the same old tune Yes I do believe I might be having fun I believe I might be having fun Tune into the station Make a dedication This is going out to everyone This is going out to everyone This is going out to everyone This is going out to everyone Going out to everyone This is going out to everyone
