Sheep Are My Keeper

Baby Ray


I'm sleeping to dream you I'm not dreaming a lot 
& if we continue we will give up what we've got 
The horses have mercy like a big black tiger cat 
I guess I am cursed cuz the demons stole the hat off my head 
Get the cat off my head 
Get me off of the bed, get me out of my misery 
You're at the door 
Yes it's you at the door 
I will see you no more 
If I don't, we'll have a good time 
A few of the lucky ones'll see inside 
& all the unlucky ones'll soon be taken for a ride 
The sight of the masses makes me think too hard 
I'm sleeping to dream you but I drink too hard to snore anymore 
I can't snore anymore 
I should lock up the door, but it's you at the door 
Get me my wallet I'll pay for the sheep 
If they get me to sleep 
If they don't then I'll give'em two dimes 
& a nickel or even a quarter 
Tax me a lullaby, sing me an hour 
I'm not a poor man, no, I'm just a sleeper 
Sheep are my keeper 
But demons keep stealing the hat off my head just to have a good time 
Just to bug me, just to keep me awake 
Oh shit 
You think that I'm lucky but it's not too hard to fake it 
The horses are running & the cat's gone very wild wild 
If they continue I will be too riled to snore anymore 
I can't snore anymore 
I should lock up the door, but it's you at the door 
Sheep dropping dead 
From the cat on my head 
Go away's all I said 
Got to hell 
Have a fuckin good time 
Have a really good time 
Have a very good time
