Frank Black
85 Weeks
Once Eric said
Come gather around
I'll tell a tale
That is sure to astound
Un-somnambulist
That's awake see He don't sleep
Talking taking no break
Walking But you don't believe
No you don't believe (x2)
As to his fame well
He has two claims
He is a Don
And as well a Captain
Un-somnambulist
He was awake see For eighty-five weeks With no sleep
It's crazy maybe
But you don't believe
No you don't believe (x2)
SongtexteThey called him freak
And he lost all his friends Could only speak
To the boys in the band
Un-somnambulist
You stay awake and see
What happens every eighty-five weeks With no napping
But you don't believe
No you don't believe (x2)
Please will you listen To what then did occur?
The world to him
Was all covered in fur
Un-somnambulist Let me explain See the fur
Changed to wood grain
Everything can you believe it?
But you don't believe
No you don't believe (x5)
