Lyrics

You sigh into your cup of coffee
As you watch the morning news
There goes your good day, there's the knot on the noose
Pop your pill and thus a smile
Feign contentment for a while
That's all you know how to do
When the wool is off your eyes
You'll stop counting sheep at night
'Cause you'll get your fill of them during the daytime
When the wool is off your eyes
You'll stop counting sheep at night
'Cause you'll get your fill of them during the daytime
Medicine to make you thin
But puts an end to your dreamin'
Bleeding together, the nights seem to stretch on forever
Morning comes a day too soon
You're back inside your tiny room
Waiting for something, so good at doing nothing
When the wool is off your eyes
You'll stop counting sheep at night
'Cause you'll get your fill of them during the daytime
When the wool is off your eyes
You'll stop counting sheep at night
'Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime
As the sunlight filters in
There your daily dread sets in
The cycle's beginning, and in your head, alarms are ringing
Something in you's fast asleep
Afraid to be who you will be
It's a losing battle, so why are you still fighting?
When the wool is off your eyes
You'll stop counting sheep at night
'Cause you'll get your fill of them during the daytime
When the wool is off your eyes
You'll stop counting sheep at night
'Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime
Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping, brother John?
Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping, brother John?
(Bells are ringing, bells are ringing, ding ding dong)
Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping, brother John?
(Bells are ringing, bells are ringing, ding ding dong)
Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping, brother John?
(Bells are ringing, bells are ringing, ding ding dong)
Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping, brother John?
(Bells are ringing, bells are ringing, ding ding dong)
Ding ding ding ding
Ding ding ding ding
Ding ding ding ding, dong
Ding, ding, ding, ding
Ding, ding, ding, ding
Ding, ding, ding, ding, dong
Ding, ding, ding, ding
Ding, ding, ding, ding
Ding, ding, ding, ding, dong...
