Carload Of Thieves Today We Will Be Measuring In Barleycorns Lyrics

Sitting in the basement
sitting on the floor
listening to records
don't disturb we locked the door

the volume was up to loud
as the needle hit it made you flinch
do you know the 3 barleycorns equal an inch

the tide is bringing lead to my eyelids...

Well go to sleep
I wanna be a part of everything
but I can't be a part of everything
and because of this I go to sleep
and in my dreams I can be anything
yeah, that's right anything
and because of this I go to sleep!

you left the needle poking
into the hard vinyl's skin
now it's over played
lets go check the bargain bin

when our dreams end, we'll wake up
two wheels for wings to the record store
playing hiding seek with music that we never heard before

Well go to sleep
I wanna be a part of everything
but I can't be a part of everything
and because of this I go to sleep
and in my dreams I can be anything
yeah, that's right anything
and because of this I go to sleep!

When my body absorbs the melody
it helps me regain all my sanity
now it's time for me to surrender till I'm contently numb
to forget who we are and what we will become

Well go to sleep
I wanna be a part of everything
but I can't be a part of everything
and because of this I go to sleep
and in my dreams I can be anything
yeah, that's right anything
and because of this I go to sleep!
