You would not

be lieve your eyes

if ten mi llion fi re flies

Lit up the world

as I fell as leep

'Cos they'd fill the o pen air

and leave

tear drops e very where

You'd think me rude

but I would just

stand and stare

I'd like to make my self be lieve

that pla net Earth turns slow ly

It's hard to say

that I'd ra ther stay

a wake when I'm as leep

'Cos e very thing is ne ver

as it seems

'Cos I'd get a thou sand hugs

from ten thou sand

light ning bugs

As they tried to teach me

how to dance

A fox trot a bove my head

a sock hop be neath my bed

A dis co ball is just

hang ing by a thread

I'd like to make my self be lieve

that pla net Earth turns slow ly

It's hard to say

that I'd ra ther stay a wake

when I'm as leep

'Cos e very thing is ne ver

as it seems

Leave my door o pen

just a crack

'Cos I feel like

such an in som ni ac

Why do I ti re

of coun ting sheep

When I'm far too

ti red to fall as leep

To ten mi llion fi re flies

I'm weird 'cos I hate good byes

I got mis ty eyes

as they said fare well

But I'll know where seve ral are

if my dreams get real bi zarre

'Cos I saved a few

and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make my self be lieve

that pla net Earth turns slow ly

It's hard to say

that I'd ra ther stay a wake

when I'm as leep

'Cos e very thing is ne ver

as it seems

I'd like to make my self be lieve

that pla net Earth turns slow ly

It's hard to say

that I'd ra ther stay a wake

when I'm as leep

'Cos e very thing is ne ver

as it seems

I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I rather stay awake when I'm asleep

Because my dream's the first thing at the seams
