Every time I run astray

And I believe I got problems I can't solve

Usually I'll have a drink

Make believe I got the answers to it all

All alone and I can't think

I reflect on the sun that's going down

I gotta fix that kitchen sink

Pick your little world up off the ground

All the world is asleep

And their dreaming like I used to but I'm wide awake

All the world is asleep

And their scheming like I used to

But my eyes are wide open



Set aside the rules I break

Try to ignore them myself

And I rely on my mistakes

To show me the way back from Hell

Move me towards a different view

Sometimes my world seems so strange

Now I see how you're the fool

You're all alone in your own crystal haze



All the world is asleep

And their dreaming like I used to

But I'm wide awake

All the world is asleep

And their scheming like I used to

But my eyes are wide open



You said your comments to me

And I've got no answer

Baby we'll just wait and see

Well I'm taking my chances



All the world is asleep

And their dreamin' like I used to but I'm wide awake

All the world is asleep

And their scheming like I used to my eyes are wide open



All the world is asleep

And their dreamin' like I used to buy I'm wide awake

All the world is asleep

And their scheming like I used to but my eyes are wide open
