I Was Only Sleeping

I used to sit on top of the charts Making hit records, breaking little girl's hearts Party every night, all around the globe Drinking martinis in a satin robe Drivin' round the town in a limousine Me and my buddies, recreating the scene Then like the night turned into the day I was understandably fading away But I'm back on the scene and I'm starting today 'Cause I ain't dead, I was only sleeping My locomotive came off of the track I've been to hell and it's good to be back But there was a time when I lost my drive Fell over the hill, barely alive A pretty little woman got a hold on me Gave me back my life and my dignity She told me something that I believe is true She said I'm gonna make a better man out of you And now I'm here and you can see that 'Cause I ain't dead, I was only sleeping Was only sleeping Sleeping Was only sleeping Now I can see there's more of life to be done I'm walking so proud, I got my face in the sun This time I got the bull right by the horns Life's much better than it was before Some did me wrong I must admit So I walk in the truth, it makes it easy to give I've planned a lot, still got a long way to go I'd rather stand by myself and go with the flow Can't wait to see what life has in store 'Cause I ain't dead, I was only sleeping 'Cause I ain't dead, I was only sleeping Was only sleeping Sleeping Was only sleeping
