Whoa oh, whoa oh   I'd be sleeping now if it was up to me      Sly fox, you really tricked me   Now you've got me on a leash   Throw me a bone, just drive me home   Or give me something good to read      I am a nail stuck in a wall without a string   Around my neck tied to a frame   Vacant with no war to wage   Can't teach a boy what he don't wanna learn      Whoa oh, whoa oh   I'd be sleeping now if it was up to me   Whoa oh, whoa oh   Wouldn't hear a sound if it was up to me   If it was up to me      As empty as this summer town street in January   Without a shoe pressing the pavement   Walking by me patiently   And there's a song charming my ears infinitely      Motherly it gently sings   In my headphones whispering   Making sure that I am not alone      Whoa oh, whoa oh   I'd be sleeping now if it was up to me   Whoa oh, whoa oh   Wouldn't hear a sound if it was up to me      Fill me, I'm drying out and thin   Save me, I know you'd kill it      Fill me, I'm drying out and thin   Save me, I know you'd kill it      Fill me, I'm drying out and thin   Save me, I know you'd kill it      Whoa oh, whoa oh   I'd be sleeping now if it was up to me   Whoa oh, whoa oh   Wouldn't hear a sound if it was up to me      Whoa oh, whoa oh   Wouldn't hear a sound if it was up to me
