Sleepin' (Stereo Mixdown of Japanese Quad Mix)
Johnny's been runnin' hard all his life
'Cause life never treated him right
Well, he ain't running now
You see his eyes are closed
They can't hurt him tonight
Sleepin', he's sleepin'
Just let him be for a while
Don't wake him, don't take him
To where the people don't smile
Sleepin', my man is sleepin' nice now
Please, let him stay here with me
I promise, I'll keep him
At home, where he's supposed to be
He's been out there (out there, out there)
In the streets you know (in the streets you know)
And strugglin', scufflin'
Trying to survive
Out there (out there, out there) in a rich man's world (in a rich man's world)
And now you say my Johnny is not alive
But you're wrong, can't you see?
Sleepin', he's just sleepin' mister
He doesn't rest very much
He lives hard and he gives hard
And I'll just die for his touch
Sleepin', he's sleepin'
Without a care to his name
He's peaceful
He's quiet
He's tired of runnin' his game
He's been out there (out there, out there)
In the streets you know (in the streets you know)
With all the pain and all the suffering
Out there (out there, out there)
Where you fight like hell (where you fight like hell)
He never learned how fix don't fix a thing
Don't touch him
Johnny put too much joy in his vanes
And now you're trying to tell me he's gone
I don't believe you
I'm just gonna sit here
And rock him in my arms
Sleepin', he's sleepin'
He doesn't rest very much
You see he lives hard and gives hard
And I'll just live for his touch
'Cause life never treated him right
Well, he ain't running now
You see his eyes are closed
They can't hurt him tonight
Sleepin', he's sleepin'
Just let him be for a while
Don't wake him, don't take him
To where the people don't smile
Sleepin', my man is sleepin' nice now
Please, let him stay here with me
I promise, I'll keep him
At home, where he's supposed to be
He's been out there (out there, out there)
In the streets you know (in the streets you know)
And strugglin', scufflin'
Trying to survive
Out there (out there, out there) in a rich man's world (in a rich man's world)
And now you say my Johnny is not alive
But you're wrong, can't you see?
Sleepin', he's just sleepin' mister
He doesn't rest very much
He lives hard and he gives hard
And I'll just die for his touch
Sleepin', he's sleepin'
Without a care to his name
He's peaceful
He's quiet
He's tired of runnin' his game
He's been out there (out there, out there)
In the streets you know (in the streets you know)
With all the pain and all the suffering
Out there (out there, out there)
Where you fight like hell (where you fight like hell)
He never learned how fix don't fix a thing
Don't touch him
Johnny put too much joy in his vanes
And now you're trying to tell me he's gone
I don't believe you
I'm just gonna sit here
And rock him in my arms
Sleepin', he's sleepin'
He doesn't rest very much
You see he lives hard and gives hard
And I'll just live for his touch
