They think they can wake him
But here’s a surprise
It takes something louder
Just to open his eyes
He finds that you bore him and ruin his fun
And leave him outside to dry up in the sun
He says do not disturb me
in the middle of my dream
Do not disturb me
You couldn’t convince him
And listen to why
The life that you offer
Is all such a lie
With a normal career of nothing to do
It’s not like sleep
where your dreams can come true
He says do not disturb me
in the middle of my dream
Do not disturb me
At six in the morning
he rolls over and sighs
after stretching and yawning
he opens his eyes
When he stretches his arm
someone hands him a gun
and when his feet hit the ground
he’s expected to run
He screams do not disturb me
in the middle of my dreams
Do not disturb me.
