"Sandman" lyrics

Uh-huh, yeah
Come be my drifter, baby, come be my drift—, ah, yeah
Come be my drifter, baby, come be my drift—, ah, yeah

Come be my drifter, my lonely listener
Make it come true
My only wish, to be on your list
Please make it come true

I'm a basket case, I'm a magic trick
Watch me disappear, one last attempt
Just one last request
Watch me while I massacre
I'm a slasher flick
Please don't take the whole thing down with you, you

I, I can't get to sleep, I barely catch a wink
I guess I'm not the sandman's type
Uh, when I lay awake, I see you on the ceiling
See you on the ceiling, see you on the ceiling

Come be my drifter, my lonely listener
Make it come true
My only wish, to be on your list
Please make it come true

Come be my drifter, my lonely listener
Make it come true
My only wish, to be on your list
Please make it come true

Hey, baby, I translate
Maybe you can understand where I'm comin' from
I just wanna go to bed with you in the bed layin' right next to me
If you can't, okay, yeah, but
Takin' my clothes off
Maybe you can understand where I'm comin' from
I just wanna go to bed, had a long day
You know when I ain't slept, I'm crazy
I'm a Cheshire Cat, and I'm Alice too
I'm sixes and sevens after dark on the patio
Watchin' all the shells get taken off of the shore
By the pressure from the swell as I sink into the floor
I would tell you more, but first

Come be my drifter, my lonely listener
Make it come true
My only wish, to be on your list
Please make it come true

Come be my drifter, my lonely listener
Make it come true
My only wish, to be on your list
Please make it come true

Please make it come true
Please make it come true
Please make it come true
