She had hair like JEANNIE SHIPTON back in 1965
She had legs the never ended
I wuz halfway paralyzed.
She wuz tall and cool and pretty and
She dressed as black as coal
If she'd ask 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

Got your number from a friend of mine
Who lives in your hometown
Called you up to have a drink
Your roomate said you weren't around
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
Behind the wall of sleep
Behind the WALL of sleep
Behind the WALL of SLEEP.
