She had hair like JEANNIE SHIPTON back in 1965
She had legs the never ended
I wuz halfway paralyzed.

She wuz tall and cool and pretty and
She dressed as black as coal
If she'd ask me to I'd murder

I would GLADLY lose my soul

Now I LIE IN BED and think of her

sometimes I even weep
then I dream of HER
behind the wall of sleep


Well she held a bass guitar and
she was playing in a band and

she stood just like Bill Wyman
now I am her biggest fan
Now I know I'm one of MANY

who would like to be your friend
And I've GOT to find a way
to let you know I'm not like THEM


Now I lie in bed and think of her
sometimes I even weep

then I dream of her
behind the WALL of sleep


Got your number from a friend of mine
who lives in your hometown
Called you up to have a drink

your roomate said you weren't around
Now I KNOW I'm one of many
who would like to be your friend

and I've got to find a way to
let you know I'm not like THEM


Now I lie in bed and think of her
sometimes I even weep
then I dream of her

behind the wall of sleep
behind the wall of sleep
behind the WALL of sleep

behind the WALL of SLEEP.
