I Overslept Today

I overslept today, man

I couldn’t get awake

I had that sleepy

Lazy feeling in my brain

I had that sleepy

Lazy feeling in my brain

 

I overslept today, man

I should have been on time

But I was busy with

Some people in my mind

I was busy with

Some people in my mind

Floating inside a picture

It’s all in color, it’s all so real

Visions, so much to see there

It’s all together

It’s all together

It’s all together here

 

I stayed up with the TV

Too late the night before

And though I’ve done the same

A thousand times before

Yes I’ve done the same

A thousand times before

I couldn’t get to sleep, man

I guess she was on my mind

And I felt sure she would be

Knocking on my door

I felt sure she would be

Knocking on my door

 

I overslept today, man

I saw her in a dream

And we were lovers

Just the way we used to be

We were lovers

Just the way we used to be

 

I overslept today, man

But there’s nothing left to lose

So I may just sleep late tomorrow

If I choose

I may just sleep late tomorrow

If I choose

 

All in all

I guess I’m fine

Although my mind

Is just a picture

Of her face

 

I overslept today, man

But there’s nothing left to lose

And I might just sleep late tomorrow

If I choose

I may just sleep late tomorrow

If I choose

If I choose

If I choose
