John Entwistle - Sleeping Man Lyrics

Who's that knocking at the bottom of my door?

Who's that lying on the floor

Like a fallen meteor

It's the sleeping man.



Tomorrow just slipped away

Whatever happened to yesterday

You play you pay

Sleeping man.



Sandman please leave him alone

Let him out of the twilight zone

Just for once let him answer the phone

Sleeping man.



Sandman please leave him alone

Let him out of the twilight zone

Just for once let him answer the phone

Sleeping man.



After supper eyes shut tight

Night is day and day is night

He's not a pretty sight

Sleeping man.



Face down on the table, drink in his hand

He doesn't hear the noise of the band

With a head full of ideas and eyes full of sand

Lies the sleeping man.



Sandman please leave him alone

Let him out of the twilight zone

Just for once let him answer the phone

Sleeping man.



Sandman please leave him alone

Let him out of the twilight zone

Just for once let him answer the phone

Sleeping man.



(Guitar Solo)



Sing a long lullaby to the sleeping man

Grab some zzz's, sleeping man

Said goodnight again to the sleeping man

See you in your dreams sleeping man.
