Lyrics
One sunny morning I felt upset
I woke up from my snoring in a really hot sweat
Heat rays pounding on my window
Should I leave not yet.
It started with a hop, jump, skip, oh please
I'ma take a break under that tree
Found a bottle with a label that said drink me So I drank that bottle down.
I was dreaming in a dream I had before
Only this time I wanted it some more
You woulda left me at the door when I got lost in my thoughts.
I fell straight into the deep
The realm of deep sleeping had me counting sheep
One of so many that i wanted to keep
But that belonged to Bo-peep.
I wonder in my head
As i step out of my bed
Look to the sky to check that I'm alive
The sun shines in my eyes
I turn around despite the thoughts that I'm Still dreaming I'm alive & I'm still breathing.
I'm falling down the hold its a long way down
I try to hold on but I fall to the ground
I brace myself for the really loud sound
All I hear is the tick & the tock now
I'm falling down the hole & I land on my feet
The next thing I know I'm walking down the street
I look down at my shoes I been tapping to the beat all I hear is the tick & the tock now.
One Monday morning I felt upset
I woke up next to a girl in a red dress
Too good to be true I always knew
That I was dreaming.
& just when I thought it was going to plan
I ran & I kicked over the can
It spilt over my mind I question why
Does this happen again.
I was sitting there painted gold
The next thing I know I was white as snow
The same old things they always show me The wrong place to go.
So now I'm back here where I began
On my own to an extent
It happened so fast oh but how
Did I come out smiling.
I wonder in my head
As i step out of my bed
Look to the sky to check that I'm alive
The sun shines in my eyes
I turn around despite the thoughts that I'm Still dreaming I'm alive & I'm still breathing.
I'm falling down the hold its a long way down
I try to hold on but I fall to the ground
I brace myself for the really loud sound
All I hear is the tick & the tock now
I'm falling down the hole & I land on my feet
The next thing I know I'm walking down the street
I look down at my shoes I been tapping to the beat all I hear is the tick & the tock now.
