Lyrics They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants

Sleepwalkers

See them over there

See them moving down the road

Their arms held out ahead

And their eyes, their eyes are closed

Don't make any noise, cry out loud, or stamp your feet

You'll wake the girls and boys who are walking in their sleep

Every night they throw aside their blankets

Swing their feet down, stand up, and move out to the street

Like they're under a spell and together they roam across the country

And they're walking in their sleep

You'll recognize them when you see their rumpled hair and stocking feet

It seems like they want something but we don't know what it is

But here they come again

Yes here they come again

Move aside and let the people go by

They don't see you thinking that they're home in their beds

They must not be disturbed when they're wandering all across the country

And they're walking in their sleep

Perhaps when they awake they'll remember everything

They'll think it was a dream

It will be forgotten then

But don't make any noise, cry out loud, or stamp your feet

You'll wake the girls and boys who are walking in their sleep
