Destiny turned her face Nightmares and violent shapes The state of dreaming has left me numb Blue eyes and wandering lips True lies through fingertips Hidden tales of forbidden Love You've left me miserable Miserable, miserable, miserable Love You've left me miserable Miserable, miserable, miserable Maybe we're just sleepwalking Maybe we're just sleepwalking Visions of better times Kingdoms and lilac wine Why did God fail to improve us? Teardrops of acid rain Burning down through my veins Can't I just sleep for a night? Well Despite my fears I dance for you And did what others do Well When can one wake and live again? I'm desperate, desperate (yeah!) Maybe we're just sleepwalking Maybe we're just sleepwalking (Yeah!) Maybe we're just sleepwalking Maybe we're just sleepwalking Maybe we're just sleepwalking (Well, despite my fears, I dance for you) Maybe we're just sleepwalking Maybe we're just sleepwalking (Well, when can one wake and live again?) Maybe we're just sleepwalking Maybe we're just sleepwalking Maybe we're just sleepwalking
