about

Just doing my job, ma'am.

lyrics

I’m always there every night, to wake her up from her bad dreams
She has too many bad dreams, every night, because of me
We’ve had so many good times in our lives, so it seems
But something always troubles her, subconsciously, in her dreams
One day I would like to wake up in a world free of misery
Prerequisite to waking up, is to get some sleep, get some sleep
I lay awake all night guarding her from her bad dreams
I’d just like to get some sleep, get some sleep, I need some sleep
She’s planning a dinner party for co-workers and employees
Twenty-five or so, I’m not included
Boys night out for me
It’s one of her good dreams, I just lie awake, listening for bad dreams, so I can intervene
Protecting her from myself
Protecting her from myself



I leave her monetarily to write down all these thoughts I have
I just can’t get comfortable with all these thoughts runnin’ around my head
I don’t wake her if she’s dreaming and she laughs
I just figure it musta been something somebody musta said
She is everything and more, she doesn’t deserve to know me in her dreams
She should be dreaming of the ocean, or flower valleys, or mountain streams
But strung-out, overdrawn bank account, desperation creeping in
So lovely as a flower, the veil so deeply thin
She’s planning a dinner party for relatives and family
Eighteen or nineteen this time, I am included, Mmmmmm
It’s one of her bad dreams, as I lie awake, listening, I intervene, and wake her up
Protecting her from myself
Protecting her from myself
