(Verse 2 - same chord progression)
sleepyhead, come on lets take a ride
to the easy plateau in the back of your mind
up through the alley take the door under the stairs
my head ain't feeling nothing but cats and rocking chairs
(Pre-chorus and chorus)
Bad nights lead to better days
It never happens but I think about it anyways
I want an easy plateau, Some place to rest my head
I want an easy plateau, Some place to rest my head
For awhile, for awhile, for awhile, for a little while
