Wasteside

by Regina Spektor

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow

but its better than sleeping by the wasteside of today

all the barbershops and funeral-homes were open

and the customers were coming and the business was doing great

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow

just dreaming dreams and drooling on my bed

all the people in my town would be born

then they'd get themselves a little hair cut

and then promptly after they'd be dead

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow

when a drunk girl awoke me on the train

but I did not see her stumbling and I did not hear her mumbling

as I dubbed myself a passenger

and kindly stepped away

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow I was sleeping

I was sleeping I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow of tomorrow

ladies and gentlemen

I was just sleeeeee-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow

but it's better than sleeping by the wasteside of today

all the barbershops and funeral-homes were open

and the customers were coming and the business

was

doing

great...
