REM - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite

This here is the place where I will be staying
There isn't a number. You can call the pay phone.
Let it ring a long, long, long, long time
If I don't pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more
If I don't pick up, pick up... The sidewinder sleeps, sleeps,sleeps in a coil.

Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.

There are scratches all aroud the coin slot
like a heartbeat, baby trying to wake up
but this machine can only swallow money
You can't lay a patch by computer design.
It's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs

Tell her,
Tell her she can kiss my ass, then laugh and say that you were only kidding
That way she'll know that it's really, really, really, really me

Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.

Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me.
Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial
A can of beans or blackeyed peas, some Nescafe and Ice
a candy bare, a falling star, or a reading of Docor Seuss

Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.


The cat in the cat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way,
always had a smile and a reason to pretend.
But their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dream
The sidewinder sleeps on his back


Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.Call me when you try to wake her up.
Call me when you try to wake her. I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her. I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her. I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.

We've got to moogie, moogie, move on this one.
