Lyrics

Out on the street and the rain is fallin??™, I got nowhere to go
Here in my heart I can hear you callin??™ maybe I should come back home
I don??™t know what keeps us together, but I can??™t break the chain
I don??™t mind a little stormy weather, but I just can??™t stand the rain.

Sleepwalkin??™, deep sleep talkin??™, reelin??™ and rockin??™, wailin??™ at the moon
Sleepwalkin??™, deep sleep talkin??™, reelin??™ and rockin??™, wailin??™ at the moon.

Sleep won??™t come so you lie there waitin??™, lookin??™ at the silvery light
Tellin??™ yourself there??™s nothin??™ new, so whatever gets you through the night
Meanwhile back in the music business the beat goes on and on
I sell my soul to the company man, when there??™s nothin??™ else to lean upon.

Sleepwalkin??™, deep sleep talkin??™, reelin??™ and rockin??™, wailin??™ at the moon
Sleepwalkin??™, deep sleep talkin??™, reelin??™ and rockin??™, wailin??™ at the moon.

People come and people go, friends they disappear
There??™s only one thing that I wanna know, tell me where do we go from here
Everybody??™s on the make, everybody??™s tryin??™ to get ahead
In a world like this you just exist to feed the walkin??™ dead.

Sleepwalkin??™, deep sleep talkin??™, reelin??™ and rockin??™, wailin??™ at the moon
Sleepwalkin??™, deep sleep talkin??™, reelin??™ and rockin??™, wailin??™ at the moon.

Lookin??™ out on a world gone crazy, waitin??™ for the fun to begin
The race is on yeah they??™re gettin??™ ready, Jesus what a state we??™re in
Meanwhile down in my backyard I??™m sittin??™ doin??™ solitary
Now that I??™ve milked the sacred cow, I just worry ???bout the military.

Sleepwalkin??™, deep sleep talkin??™, reelin??™ and rockin??™, wailin??™ at the moon
Sleepwalkin??™, deep sleep talkin??™, reelin??™ and rockin??™, wailin??™ at the moon.
