Tired night driver dawn

Brakes clash with the lights on

Dashboard panel neon sign

London five, anywhere miles away

He's been in the seat

Under the sparkle sky

Picking out the cats eyes

Over the miles away

I'm not her cover man

Just she never did understand

L'm not your best friend

I'm just a sleeper

You've been missing traffic

Travelling in the underbelly

Wonder 'bout the neighbourhood threat

Thats hanging over

Could you be the one they thought of

Pulling out all the stops

To catch you with your punch clock

And take time just to knock you off

Hes just a criminal

Hes just a night keeper

Don't think he'll upset you

Cause he's just a sleeper

Big black Billy Dan

Didnae give a monkey d***

Took the road to sleep in

And the river for to weep in

Everyone was sure he took

All that s*** for god's sake

Now he's in the avenue

Making plans for human means

The man looks like nothing

Comes on like a creeper

Don't be fooled by nothing

Hes just a sleeper

Some folk don't rest up

Or give up or shut up

Or put up or back up

From things that make the heart stop

So dont go thinking that

This is much sweeter

Put up your fences

Cause I'm the restless sleeper

You think you've got the class war

Beaten up and gone forever

You know the troubles coming

Riding on the sleeper
