Bruce Springsteen - I'm Not Sleeping Lyrics

Bruce Springsteen Lyrics

"I'm Not Sleeping"

I never go out, I just stay at home
Change my address, disconnect the phone
Turn off the TV because it bothers me
I've seen all that, all that I wanna see
And if my friends ask where I've been
Just say I don't know what's become of him

I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm only resting my eyes
I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm only takin' my time

Yeah, it's so hard to be responsible
Knowin' everything, everything that's possible
And when that bad wind, it comes blowin' in
I pack my things, I move on again
Feed the rich, eat the poor
Stack their bodies outside my door

'Cause I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm only resting my eyes
I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm only takin' my time

The world outside, it's such a dangerous place
I don't dare, I don't dare show my face
They got my number, yeah, they know where I live
Got no more to say, got no more to give

Another night comes drawin' near
I lock my doors and I disappear

I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm only resting my eyes
Baby, I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm only takin' my time

I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
Yeah, I'm only resting my eyes
I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm only takin' my time

I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
