Sleeping Away testo

If the people could only see you, it would become as a big surprise
That a person they watch on TV, worries and laughs and cries
When they finally get to know you, they'll be looking at someone else
And no matter what you keep saying, they'll put you upon the shelf
There are plenty of things for you to do
But you're letting it slip away
Yes, you're letting it slip away, my friend
Cause you're thinking about today
When you're moving up rather slowly and putting yourself around
Just remember that on the way up, it's easier to come down
Cause when your money seems almost endless, well I know it's been said before
But you know it won't last a lifetime, maybe you'll need some more
There are plenty of things for you to do
But you're letting it slip away
Yes, you're letting it slip away, my friend
Cause you're thinking about today
