I'm Only Sleeping
"I'm Only Sleeping" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1966 studio album Revolver. In the United States and Canada, it was one of the three tracks that Capitol Records cut from the album and instead included on Yesterday and Today, released two months before Revolver. Credited as a Lennon–McCartney song, it was written primarily by John Lennon. The track includes a backwards (or backmasked) lead guitar part, played by George Harrison, marking the first time that such a technique had been used on a pop recording.

Lyrics
Lift my head, I`m still yawning
When I`m in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (Float up stream)
Please, don`t wake me, no, don`t shake me
Leave me where I am, I`m only sleeping
Everybody seems to think I`m lazy
I don`t mind, I think they`re crazzy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find there`s no need (There`s no need)
Please, don`t spoil my day, I`m miles away
And after all I`m only sleeping
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time
Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling...
Please, don`t spoil my day, I`m miles away
And after all I`m only sleeping
Ooh yeah
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time
When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I`m still yawning
When I`m in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (Float up stream)
Please, don`t wake me, no, don`t shake me
Leave me where I am, I`m only sleeping
