R. E. M. - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite lyrics
rate me(berry/buck/mills/stipe)<br><br><br>This here is the place I will be staying<br>There isn't a number. you can call the pay phone<br>Let it ring a long, long, long, long time<br>If I don't pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more<br>If I don't pick up, pick up. the sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil<br><br>(chorus)<br>Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her<br>Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her<br>Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her<br><br>There are scratches all around the coin slot<br>Like a heartbeat, baby, trying to wake up,<br>But this machine can only swallow money<br>You can't lay a patch by computer design<br>It's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs<br><br>Tell her,<br>Tell her she can kiss my ass, then laugh and say that you were only kidding<br>That way she'll know that it's really, really, really, really me, me<br><br>(repeat chorus)<br><br>Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me<br>Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial<br>A can of beans or blackeyed peas, some nescafe and ice,<br>A candy bar, a falling star, or a reading of doctor seuss<br><br>(repeat chorus)<br><br>The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way,<br>Always had a smile and a reason to pretend<br>But their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dream<br>The sidewinder sleeps on his back<br><br>Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her<br>Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her<br>I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her<br>Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her<br>Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her<br>I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her<br>Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her<br>I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her<br>I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her<br><br>We've got to moogie, moogie, move on this one
