I know I've seen your face somewhere Selling something, some big idea I know I've seen that vacant stare Selling sunsets for somebody else You find yourself asking yourself "What is any of it worth?" You find yourself looking up at night From the bottom of the earth Oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore? No, did your sheep stop jumping Did they grow out their teeth Did they need a little something more Than this? The taste of trouble on your lips 'Cause now their biting at your thoughts You tell yourself to just turn away But you know you've already lost The smell of rain when it's on the wind Can never be paid in full You try in vain to account for this mess Everything that you stole Oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore? No, did your sheep stop jumping Did they grow out their teeth Did they need a little something more Than this? 'Cause now their biting at your feet They got you running from this place And now they are breathing down your neck Your eyes look lonely in your face I see you looking just out of frame What is it pulling you there? 'Cause things can never stay the same So what is keeping you here? Oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore? No, did your sheep stop jumping Did they grow out their teeth Did they need a little something? Now every time you think they'll be biting at your thoughts And every time you blink well you will be sold and bought But you want more Than this I know I've seen your face somewhere
