I spend these waking hours looking for the sandman
I spend these waking hours looking for his master plan
I'll wait 'til morning 'til he comes to my house
He'll give no warning when he's knocking me out

(Chorus)

So sing me to sleep, tonight,
And don't bring me back, tonight,
I spend these waking hours looking for the sandman
I spend these waking hours looking for his master plan
He will be sorry when he comes to my house
I'll show no mercy till the lights go out

(Chorus)

So sing me to sleep, tonight,
And don't bring me back, tonight,

We're waiting for the sandman, but he never hears the call
We're waiting for the sandman, but he never hears the call
We're waiting for the sandman, but he never hears the call
We're waiting for the sandman, but he never hears the call


(Chorus)

So sing me to sleep, tonight,
And don't bring me back, tonight,

We're waiting for the sandman, but he never hears the call
We're waiting for the sandman, but he never hears the call
We're waiting for the sandman, but he never hears the call
We're waiting for the sandman, but he never hears the call
