They Might Be Giants - Sleeping in the Flowers lyrics

rate me

I got a crush

Copy shop clerk

But she won't look up at me

Don't want to be known as the freak

Who just comes around to catch her eye

We could be sleeping in the flowers

We could sleep all afternoon

You'd proclaim that you're an island

I'd proclaim that I'm one too

Then we float into the harbor

With just piers and boats around

I declare that I am England

You declare that I have drowned

I got a ride

Home with a drunk guy

How ungrateful I must have seemed

He showed me how

To spin my head round and round

We could be sleeping in the flowers

We could sleep all afternoon

You'd proclaim that you're an island

I'd proclaim that I'm one too

Then we float into the harbor

With just piers and boats around

I declare that I am England

You declare that I have drowned

We could be sleeping in the flowers

We could sleep all afternoon

You'd proclaim that you're an island

I'd proclaim that I'm one too

Then we float into the harbor

With just piers and boats around

I declare that I am England

You declare that I have drowned

We'll be sleeping in the flowers

Tell my boss that I've been fired

We'll be sleeping in the flowers

Tell my boss that I've been fired

We'll be sleeping in the flowers

Tell my boss I'm fired

We'll be sleeping in the flowers

Tell my boss I'm fired

The Dial-a-Song lyrics are unclear. The following is the best guess at this time.

Dogs' masters stay off 'em

Bugs stay off 'em

Dogs' masters stay off 'em

Bugs stay off 'em

Now we're sleeping in the flowers

And we'll sleep all afternoon

You proclaim that you're an island

I proclaim that I'm one too

Dogs' masters stay off 'em

Bugs stay off 'em

Dogs' masters stay off 'em

Bugs stay off 'em

Now we're sleeping in the flowers

And we'll sleep all afternoon

You proclaim that you're an island

I proclaim that I'm one too

Then we float into the harbor

With our piers and boats around

I declare that I am England

You declare that I have drowned

Now we're sleeping in the flowers

And we'll sleep all afternoon

You proclaim that you're an island

I proclaim that I'm one too

Then we float into the harbor

With our piers and boats around

I declare that I am England

You declare that I have drowned
