REM - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite Lyrics
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)This here is the place I will be stayingThere isnt a number. you can call the pay phoneLet it ring a long, long, long, long timeIf I dont pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some moreIf I dont pick up, pick up. the sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil(chorus)Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herCall me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herCall me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herThere are scratches all around the coin slotLike a heartbeat, baby, trying to wake up,But this machine can only swallow moneyYou cant lay a patch by computer designIts just a lot of stupid, stupid signsTell her,Tell her she can kiss my ass, then laugh and say that you were only kiddingThat way shell know that its really, really, really, really me, me(repeat chorus)Baby, instant soup doesnt really grab meToday I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantialA can of beans or blackeyed peas, some nescafe and ice,A candy bar, a falling star, or a reading of doctor seuss(repeat chorus)The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way,Always had a smile and a reason to pretendBut their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dreamThe sidewinder sleeps on his backCall me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herCall me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herI can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake herCall me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herCall me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herI can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake herCall me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herI can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake herI can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake herWeve got to moogie, moogie, move on this one
