[Verse 1]
You close your eyes and you will see
Micro-flashing neon lights
Open your eyes and you will see
It still looks like the same thing
Lie and wait for sleep and listen
To your heart beat too fast for sleep
Close your eyes and you will see
The sound asleep

[Verse 2]
I want to go, I want to go
I want to go down to go to sleep
Your frame of reference
Is my swimming pool

[Verse 3]
My, my swimming pool
Still looks like the China Sea
Pool to sea and finally
The sound asleep

[Verse 4]
Feel the muscles in your face
Twitch, relax, remembering
Everything that went down and will go down
I want to go down to sleep

[Verse 5]
Insomnia, no sleep disease
Petties parking, feed me please
Lie and wait for sleep and listen
To your heart beat too fast for sleep

Blondie is an American rock band founded by singer Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American new wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s. Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles including “Call Me”, “Atomic” and “Heart of Glass” and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a new wave band.
