Lyrics

It’s no joke
You’re flesh and blood
You won’t be here for long
Don’t push your luck

No joke
Don’t f*** it Up
You won’t be here for long
Don’t push your luck

I hate to say I told you so
But I could see it coming
Loose lips sink ships
Be careful what you’re saying
Everything is easy when you’re fine and good looking

No joke
You’re flesh and blood
You won’t be here for long
Don’t push your luck

No joke
Just Suck it Up
You won’t be here for long
Don’t push your luck

Oblivious, a life in flux
I’ve had enough, it’s all absurd
Before your eyes
An enigma lies
Desire for power by utter Philistines

No joke
You’re flesh and blood
You won’t be here for long
Don’t push your luck

No joke
Don’t screw it up
You won’t be here for long
Don’t push your luck

Bad habits - I’m not having it
Your backward cultivation
Bad game - no shame
The lack of conversation
The endless mumbo jumbo
Can only dull your brain

You’re flesh and blood
You won’t be here for long
Don’t push your luck

No joke
Just Suck it Up
You won’t be here for long
Don’t push your luck
Time to laugh
No time to cry
You won’t be here for long
One day you’re gonna die

Time to laugh
No time to cry
You won’t be here for long
One day you’re gonna die

Time to laugh
No time to cry
You won’t be here for long
One day you’re gonna die

Time to laugh
No time to cry
You won’t be here for long
One day you’re gonna die

After 6 singles, music videos and remixes, Daphne Guinness still surprises me with a very fun song, with a deep meaning and a “simple” music video. I like when Daphne is more loose and she is just having fun and her message is easier to understand. She is truly unique and has so much to offer to music, art and the world. Happy “Sleep” release day! I wish a lot of success and happiness to Daphne, as a fan I know she deserves the best and she has given us her best. Thank you Daphne from the bottom of my heart! Cheers! 🪩🐢🌋⏳🖤🃏

[monamarlowe]

Probably your least expensive video and the best one. And my favorite song of yours. 💫✨🥰

[jessel]

I was blown away to hear 'Sleep' in its entirety! This song stuck out to me as one of my favorites, and I was so happy to see there is already a video for it. I am glad I ordered the boxed set vinyl because this album is perfection and an absolute "no skips" album. 🖤🎶🪩

[savelysavely]

You are like a crystal locomotive moving along a winding railway. Amazing !

[ncallaway]

Wow, just wow. I have to say, you have a new fan in me. "Revelations" album & this new album "Sleep" are my favorite of your 4 albums, BY they just fit your style both sonically and visually perfect.... i hope you continue to make music and videos, especially your dance/disco songs and your videos with David LaChapelle are my favorite... the Heaven video is PERFECTION! love the Volcano video.... keep em coming queen

[carolsaldana]

Dear Miss Guinness, You've taken your art to a new level... Love it! Your lyrics reminded me of a great quote in "Blank Generation" when Carole Bouquet's character says to Richard Hell in the film...."What will you do when you lose your good looks"? Thank you & Congratulations.☮❤

Absolute banger, thank you DG. Different from the LaChapelle directed videos, but this is one of your best tracks. Promise I won't push my luck ;) I don't quite believe you're flesh and blood, you ageless glam vampire.

[crawfordaustin]

[egyptianmauworld]

Today i am gonna make a music video! Love it Daphne, if you have money to spend make sure its on fun

[tipsonlyproductions]

Fucking brilliant yet again. Very minimal matches the high budget feel. This is existential pop at its best.
