One night a silver balloon swept me over the sea
across the Atlantic I found myself headed towards Paris
I held on to the ropes for dear life it was cold enough to freeze
the balloon burst and I started to fall then I woke suddenly
Interlude
2x , ,
The very next night I saw some whales swim Santa Monica bay
I flew down to greet them I watched them play
in my nakedness I swam and she spoke in her singing sonic way
the mother of them all took my hate then send me on my way
Flying in my sleep
Flying in my sleep
I visit you almost every night I float over your bed
you lay there with open eyes and your husband sleeps in your arms
I can see that you`re thinking of me I made a mistake I should have stayed
I slide between the both of you one kiss and I`ll be on my way
Flying in my sleep
they say it`s a gift but it`s a curse for me
flying and I see
broken dreams and tragedy
If I could I would stay with you forever
in a dream world that`s complete
I`ve got my life and you got yours
but in the night we meet
Well I can`t wait till the sun goes down and lay myself to sleep
I forget about the real life in a dream world incomplete
I fall through my mattress up to the clouds high above the earth
and I find myself looking for you through this wonderful universe
Flying in my sleep
they say it`s a gift but it`s a curse for me
flying and I see
broken dreams and tragedy
Oh I`m flying in my sleep
