John Cooper Clarke Sleepwalk
I can wriggle out of arrangements,
you can't pin me down,
I tend to dodge engagements,
I'll see you around.
Am I ok?,
Not really, no,
I seem to stop and start,
Anything I can do let me know
I think I'll sleepwalk out of my heart
sleepwalk in the daytime
access to all fours
Sleepwalk in a straight line
Leading out of the door
Shop through city on a world of eyes
Marvelously dead
These friends of mine need exercise
They sleepwalk instead
No guardian angle intercepts the
Sleepwalkin' kid
Who sleepwalks the fractured steps
To the sleepwalking skids
The way the private eye goes
about his ancient art.
I can do it with me eyes closed,
Sleepwalk out of my heart
Stop, look, listen to the zombie
The hoochie coochie blues
Black slacks and a crombie
Gucchie shoes
A psycho stud and his steady girl
are heading right this way
When all the footsteps in the world
Sleepwalk away
A victim of ambition
Loitering with intent
The human condition
But who knows what percent
Goodbye from me till now
I never really care
Sleepwalk anyhow
Anywhere
Sleepwalk, talk
Faster and faster
One of these talking birds
Sleepwalk away from disasters
Like they never occured.
Too much devotion
Keeps me apart
Sleepwalk in slow motion
Out of my heart
In the creepy zilch of subways
The sub pedestrian plod
Sleepwalk on Sunday
Beneath the domes of God
Such a hazardous pastime
I'm gonna be smart.
Sleepwalk for the last time
Out of my heart.
Sleepwalk on duty
See myself in a pool
A sleepwalking cutie
Sleepwalking fool.
Stuck in the afternoon.
They do go on.
When normal service is resumed.
I'll be sleepwalking young.
