I've been sound asleep for twenty years
If I'm sound asleep a hundred years
She won't wake me
She won't wake me

I've been sound asleep for twenty years
If I'm sound asleep a thousand years
He won't wake me
He won't wake me

Nothing stirs us
Sound asleep
We're sound asleep

Nothing stirs us
Sound asleep
We're sound asleep

While there's still a war to win
My red dream is everything
They won't wake me
They won't wake me

Nothing stops us
Sound asleep
We're sound asleep

Nothing stops us
Sound asleep
We're sound asleep
