Ernie
sleeps and I'm awake
Does he see me?
Does he see me?
Among the shifting shapes
The day is tired and so am I
Still I can't believe my luck
I hope I don't make too many mistakes
He fell off,
fell off the chair the second I looked away
Just about anything makes me cry Still I can't believe my,
can't believe my luck
You're a
chubby little podge ball Half animal,
half cupid
You know next to nothing Still you make me feel so stupid
And I can't believe my luck I am yours and you are mine
Oh, I've really come unstuck this time
I can't believe my luck
He landed like an alien From a distant,
dark and liquid planet
Turned this whole house upside down We will never be the same now
We will never be the same now
Don't trust my own memory Who you were last week,
it's blurry already
And I'm so happy watching you dance today But by tomorrow
you'll be changed again
And I'm no good at letting go Won't you stay the way you are?
It's the hardest thing I've ever known
And I can't believe
my luck
Is he only sleeping?
Yes, he is still breathing
Is he only sleeping?
Yes, he is still breathing
Is he only sleeping?
Yes, he is still breathing
Is he only,
is he only, yes he is still
Ernie sleeps and I'm awake
You
