The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite

Interprete: REM
Disco: Automatic for the People

Letra de la canción:

This here is the place 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

(chorus)

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 around 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, me

(repeat chorus)

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 bar, a falling star, or a reading of Doctor Seuss

(repeat chorus)

The cat in the hat 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
