Stand straight
Fall back in [bad word] your hair
Get to work on time
Everyone
In the big machine
Tries to break you heart
And pull you underneath

Maybe I'm wrong and all that you get is what you see
But maybe I'm right and there's something out there to believe

Everybody's talking in their sleep
They push a lot of air around
But don't say much of anything
Except when they're laughing
Like some ghosts under a sheet

Everybody's talking in their sleep.

Watch out
Get back in line
They'll trip you up
It happens every time

Lay down
It's just a big machine
It can break apart
Like anything

Maybe I'm wrong and all that you get is what you see
But maybe I'm right and there's something out there to believe

Everybody's talking in their sleep
They push a lot of air around
But don't say much of anything
Except when they're laughing
Like some ghosts under a sheet

Everybody's talking in their sleep.
