Sleepwalker

Sleepwalker is an outtake from The Residents' 2002 album 'Demons Dance Alone', it first appeared on the Demons Dance Alone Box Set on the second disc. In 2010, The Residents wrote a new song with the same title.
== Background ==
The song was written and recorded during the sessions for their 2002 album 'Demons Dance Alone.' It features lead vocals from Molly Harvey & The Singing Resident. The lyrics depict a woman going to find her lover, who is lying on the ground, singing in his sleep. The woman understands that the man is hiding himself from the world through sleep. Similar to the then unreleased song 'Howard'
The song was remixed for inclusion on the 2004 album '12 Days of Brumalia', this version removes most of the lyrics, except for the main chorus, and is re-titled 'Day 11' or 'Pieta's Piper'
The song was then performed live for the first time in 2010, for the Talking Light tour. Shortly afterwards, a new studio version was recorded for the Lonely Teenager album, now featuring Randy Rose on vocals.
== Lyrics ==
 When I went to see my baby 
 He was in a night gown
 When I went to see my baby
 he was on the ground
 There was nothing in his eyes
 As I sat beside him
 There was nothing in his eyes
 Nothing that could hide him
 He was singing in his sleep
 And he was singing sadly
 He was singing in his sleep
 And he was looking at me
 There was something in his voice
 Something I was sensing 
 There was something in his voice
 Something that was missing
 May-be I should go to sleep...
 May-be I should go to sleep...
 May-be I should go to sleep...
 May-be I should go to sleep...
 Pity Opened up my heart
 And Pity recognised him
 Pity opened up my heart
 And nothing could disguise Him
 He had sealed himself inside 
 A body he could sleep in
 He had sealed himself inside
 And nobody could see him.
 May-be I should go to sleep...
 I'm a lonely little lamb
 Looking for a hunk of ham
 I'm a lonely little lamb
 Looking for a hunk of ham
 I'm a lonely little lamb
 Looking for a home, 
 home, home, home, home, home.
