Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm lookin' for an interruption
Do you believe?
You lookin' to dig my dreams
Be prepared for anything
You come into my little scene
Hooray, hooray, hip hip hooray
There's one thing I can guarantee
You won't have to dig, dig too deep
[Verse 2]
Said, leave me to lay, but touch me deep
I don't sleep, I dream
I'll settle for a cup of coffee
But you know what I really need
[Verse 3]
Are you lookin' to drive my dreams?
You here to run my screens?
You come, deliver my demons
Hooray, hooray, hip hip hooray
Are you comin' to ease my headache
Do you give good head?
Am I good in bed?
[Verse 4]
I don't know, I guess so
I don't sleep, I dream
I'll settle for a cup of coffee
But you know what I really need
[Verse 5]
I'm lookin' for an interruption
Can you believe?
Some medicine for my headache
Hooray, hooray, hip hip hooray
I'm pitchin' for a new direction
Pinch me when I wake
Don't tell me my dreams are fake
[Verse 6]
You leave me to lay, you touch me deep
I don't sleep, I dream
I'll settle for a cup of coffee
But you know what I really need
[Verse 7]
Leave me to lay, but touch me deep
I don't sleep, I dream
I'll settle for a cup of coffee
But you know what I really need
