King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Sleep Drifter Lyrics






Drifting in and out of sleep
Is my favourite state to be
I can see you next to me
And it is lovely

Sleep drifter, sleep drifter

I can feel you touch me
And I can hear you breathing
Please no one wake me
When I'm sleep drifting
Drifting in and out of sleep
Reality begins to fray
You'll become so close to me
In a hotel far away

Sleep drifter, sleep drifter

I can know you're right here
And I can catch your crying tear
We can be so close, dear
When I'm sleep drifting

Drifting in and out of sleep
Is my favourite state to be
I can see you next to me
And it is lovely

Sleep drifter, sleep drifter

I can feel you touch me
And I can hear you breathing
Please no one wake me
When I'm sleep drifting

I can know you're right here
And I can catch your crying tear
We can be so close, dear
When I'm sleep drifting

I can feel you touch me
And I can hear you breathing
Please no one wake me
When I'm sleep drifting

Sleep drifter, sleep drifter
Sleep drifter, sleep drifter
Sleep drifter, sleep drifter
Sleep drifter, sleep drifter

I can feel you touch me...
And I can hear you breathing...
Please no one wake me...
When I'm sleep drifting

  1. u.... ....

    It's like Turkish folk
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rVQWc7GAig

  2. i.... ....

    I wish GHOST would sound more like these guys. These guys are 100 FIRE!

  3. N.... N....

    turkish 60-70's sound.

  4. B.... F....

    I sure hope these guys bring their own microphones....

  5. A.... B....

    What type of guitar does the lead singer have?

  6. b.... w....

    what is the fret structure on the guitar @ 0:27?

  7. m.... s....

    live version is always better,
    nicely done

  8. C.... S....

    I love music I was in the biz for awhile audio engineering so I surf alot I've found some great artist that you just get a feeling about they make you feel good they look like they love what they're doing not this band its like watching antifa try to be nice I get the feeling these guys are total anarchists an thats not my vibe but which is fine I dont like everything an I'm sure there are people who love them they just seem uninterested lol now I could be wrong an would ve the first to say sorry an I'd feel bad I really would but that's the impression I get by them an theres music Sadly I see no real talent here

    C.... S....

    Listen to more of their music. Crumbling Castle is masterful composing.

    C.... S....

    King Gizzard has experimented with more musical genres in their life span then most other bands ever do, whether its an entire album that's poly-rhythmic or an album that loops forever, these guys have proven to be incredibly original and crafty
    their music isn't for everyone, but they ARE talented

  9. m.... ....

    Nevermind plenty listed here 🐃

  10. s.... p....

    Çıkamıyorum parçadan. Günlük dozumu alıp gideyim :D

  11. e.... k....

    O gitar erkin babanın icadı bilen yoksa öğrensin.

  12. P.... ....

    Excellent groove. Got a Hallogallow feel to it.

  13. f.... ....

    reminds the Mermen

  14. T.... ....

    Once again the sound guys at KEXP have done you proud, whatever they get paid it should be more as the audio quality is good enough to be mastered

    T.... ....

    that moment you realize that its actually Stu who mixed the audio for his own show xD

  15. W.... R....

    cutttt the fucking stringssssssssssssss

  16. T.... W....

    Flippen awesome!!!

  17. s.... c....

    oi where are the bards shoes?

  18. M.... G....

    Me lembrei do B 52 ouvindo isto

  19. M.... N....

    BU MÜZİK BENİ ÇILDIRTIYOR....VALLAAHİ AĞLAYACAĞIM.....! .... VAY BE !

  20. m.... ....

    If Syd Barrett hadn't had his breakdown, and Pink Floyd had spent a couple years in Istanbul, this is about what would've come of it. :D

  21. E.... ....

    It’s just sad I just figured this band out. Now, they would play their newest song in their new album which I can’t digest yet coz it has trash metal vibe. I really love this album. 🖤

  22. M.... A....

    This is better than the actual normal song, because of the bass introducing the rest of the instruments

  23. J.... D....

    it's obvious from the name of the band that these boys learned to rhyme early on in kindergarten, but dropped out of school to make barefoot psychedelic music, laddies from downunder..seven band members, with no less than 3 guitarists! guess there aren't enough good bands to go around!

  24. p.... ....

    Spawned by a colony of convicts!

  25. D.... G....

    KEXP: So do you guys need the extra drum kit, maracas, harmonica, or foam-mat floors for tonight’s performance?

    King Gizzard: Yes.

  26. d.... z....

    To the Turkish Lesbian that likes Turkish Psych Folk Rock, is it True that if you eat too much Turkey you get very Sleepy... ;-)

  27. M.... J....

    Stig Helmer på trummor!

  28. F.... L....

    Does anybody know if these are microtonal guitars?

    F.... L....

    They are

  29. S.... D....

    2 drummers playing the same thing ... ? More pointless than my own existence.

  30. A.... ....

    Do Australians never play with their shoes on lol

  31. O.... D....

    oh man ur guitar is untuned

  32. �.... �....

    CAN influence.

  33. d.... s....

    When you and your friends start a band but you have alot of friends

  34. o.... F....

    It reminds me of early Pink Floyd, like Barrett Floyd

    o.... F....

    Reminds me of dozens of things, totally not genuine stuff haha

  35. o.... F....

    What is the scale on those instruments? Definitely not a normal fret scale for guitar and bass

  36. s.... ....

    Forever anatolian rock music l..l
    https://www.youtube.com/user/AnatolianRockRevival

  37. J.... S....

    This is the future of rock

  38. A.... G....

    I love this band.

  39. h.... b....

    Who else is a Ozzie here?

    h.... b....

    hyPer broS oi oi oi

  40. A.... S....

    Rattlesnake vibes

  41. B.... W....

    this sound good.. very tight and musicality,.. 😍 kinda Franz ferninand.

  42. D.... T....

    Why is this band so underrated ???

  43. m.... ....

    Need to get me one of those microtonal guitars.

    m.... ....

    There cool. Maybe you could do something a little more creative with one than this drivel.

    m.... ....

    @Scoooter Bob If your intent is to be a pretentious fuckwit, you could at least use the proper form of *they're*.

  44. N.... M....

    is good ,,,nikos tarantella taverna xersonisos kreta

  45. S.... R....

    What's up with their fretboards?

    S.... R....

    Shem Randall microtonal frets

    S.... R....

    they had quarter tonal increments put into their fretboard between certain semitones. it's used a lot in middle eastern music

  46. M.... U....

    ŞA HA NE ! bravo çocuklar

  47. k.... ....

    The singer is ruining what is musically brilliant.

  48. j.... ....

    My hands weren’t free so I HAD to listen to the next song in the queue. A great food prep surprise.

  49. D.... K....

    The Doors did this some time ago with success 🌴

  50. O.... N....

    Jamming this out of the work truck in Glacier. National Park all the day. Faruk, a Turkish housekeeper, comes up to me and says “this is beautiful shit, what is it?” Another gizboy

  51. B.... G....

    The band of a thousand guitarists.

    B.... G....

    Bob Goblin and double drummers

  52. j.... g....

    Are the microtonal frets just applied with adhesive? I've seen all of those guitars without them.

    j.... g....

    Probably custom made. You need to cut a bit of the neck and insert the fret (the way you do the original frets)

    j.... g....

    U can get a microtonal guitar or just get a custom neck

    j.... g....

    Nah. I've have seen a video where a fella had some little temporary frets he just applied with some adhesive.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT4oOYj4SwQ

  53. S.... ....

    WHY HAS THIS NO MORE VIEWS THAN A MILLION?! People,


    we are witnessing GREATNESS. Ears up!

  54. P.... E....

    even the guitars look like boomerangs

    P.... E....

    ok boomerang

  55. M.... N....

    SANKİ TÜRKÜ SÖYLÜYORSUNUZ !

  56. M.... �....

    This is Turkish folk music.. 1965 1975

  57. j.... f....

    whats th deal with those guitar frets?

    j.... f....

    Yeah you know, M I C R O T O N A L

    j.... f....

    They have 1/4 of tones. Very common in Oriental instruments

  58. D.... H....

    What's up with the cluttered fret bars on their guitars/ bass? I've never seen those before.

    D.... H....

    They are playing on microtonal instruments that’s about all I know. The guitar Stu is playing with here is actually his “Flying Microtonal Banana” that was custom made for him

  59. E.... ....

    GREATEST BAND OF OUR TIME MOTHERFUCKERS

  60. G.... �....

    Bu coma sesli gitarları Türk grupları niye kullanmıyor acaba. Özel yapım sanırırm. Asıl bizim kullanmamız gerekirken elin Avustralyalısı kullanıyor onlardan öğreniyoruz. Yetti bu gerilik artık yaaa....! Altın Gün, Hey Dougles ve Gaye Su Akyol kullanmalı bu gitarları bence.

  61. N.... M....

    this happens when your talented children discover the krautrock records that you had forgotten in the basement

  62. k.... ....

    Aşık veysel 🙌🙌

  63. G.... T....

    🤔 Interesting piece. Don't know what to make of it.

    G.... T....

    Takes some time to process it, once you do, there's no going back. Plenty of sounds to choose from the Gizz discography ;)

  64. R.... H....

    it's like a mix of israeli traditional music and ACDC, awesome!

  65. S.... F....

    LA Woman

  66. s.... ....

    benim sadık yarim iki davuldur

    o değil de aferin gerçekten mükemmel iş çıkartmışlar

  67. J.... C....

    lol this is so turkish omg!!!

  68. J.... W....

    Interesting microtonal instruments with extra frets. Anybody know more about the microtonal instruments being used?

    J.... W....

    You can find more info about what they play from their video called “peeling the flying Microtonal Banana”

  69. M.... R....

    Reminds me of St37 , from Austin

  70. S.... ....

    Distressed music

  71. f.... ....

    Like turkish prog rock like pink floyd with barret just great i think saxophone solo could be good here

  72. T.... B....

    Why is stu barefoot? Why does Eric look like a 70s pedo

  73. W.... J....

    Yeah baby.....Aussie.....go boys!

  74. S.... W....

    What's up with the odd placement of frets on their guitars?

    S.... W....

    Microtonal guitars

  75. M.... ....

    Them quarter tones

  76. R.... F....

    there was about one blue note during the entire song. just why the heck did the whole band have to get microtonal necks just for this.

    R.... F....

    the dual drummers didn't do much to enrich the sound either. but one of them had a pretty cool stache i guess

    R.... F....

    @Rund Frukt There's an entire album of songs in microtonal tuning. Melting, Anoxia and others use it to full potential. The two drummers do things that one drummer can't on other albums. There's to more the band than just one song.

    R.... F....

    @Unknown Soldier You certainly got me there. I still think this band seems a tad pretentious and over-hyped, but your points are valid and I was shooting from the hip.

    R.... F....

    @Rund Frukt Strange, I never got the sense that they were pretentious. Stu has said in interviews that he (writes ~70% of all music and all lyrics) tries to be as ambitious as possible because otherwise, what's the point? The difference in material between and after Nonagon Infinity is tremendous - I highly, highly recommend listening to that entire album in one sitting.

  77. E.... ....

    no microtonal drums?

  78. F.... L....

    Eles se parecem com todo mundo, menos com eles...

  79. D.... A....

    It just sounds out of tune to me with those micro frets . They should just use regular frets.

  80. M.... K....

    the frets ??????????

    M.... K....

    Yeah. I'm confused. In a good way

    M.... K....

    Microtones

  81. o.... s....

    reminds me of Margerate Mead & the Anal Beads 😎👍👉 groovy

  82. D.... H....

    Can anyone explain the fretboard layout on their guitars? And bass?

    D.... H....

    They're microtonal guitars.

  83. F.... A....

    Whoa.. this just blew my mind

  84. T.... S....

    This band is truly awful. What a stupid and pointless line up of terrible musicians, playing insanely mediocre music, out of key, with bad timing lol, and seriously you could do this as a 3 piece and sound way better. I guess 4 cuz you NEED a synth if you play stupid shit like this.

    T.... S....

    Listen to Crumbling Castle and come back.

    T.... S....

    Yeah, they'd be way better as a third rate Malmsteen like Ty here

  85. K.... ....

    Anatolian Psychedelic Prog Punk Rock

  86. M.... A....

    No shoes McGee

  87. c.... a....

    the dynamic control is astounding

  88. c.... a....

    seeing two drummers playing the exact same thing with the exact same groove and feel is the most satisying thing ever

  89. f.... n....

    0:27 the lick

  90. c.... ....

    when people say that there's never been a great all-female band, I show them King Gizz

  91. A.... V....

    New bands should hang the guitars lower.This is nerd rock.

    A.... V....

    It's bad for your wrists

    A.... V....

    That's what people said about Rush, and look where they ended up.

  92. Y.... M....

    davulcuları efsane diyordum meğersem iki davulcu varmış :D

  93. Y.... M....

    efsane olmuş

  94. S.... D....

    I remember years ago these fellas did a free gig at my local pub.
    Only a few of us hung around til 10pm on that Thursday night to watch them, but we were all blown away.
    It was the closest thing I’ll ever experience to time travel.
    Although I didn’t experience the 60’s or 70’s, I was certain I was living in that era during the hour and a half show they put on that night.

  95. Z.... A....

    This is like the shit that neighbor at the end of the block used to listen to when I was a kid. He had a crazy look in his eye. He owned a drum set and sometimes had jam sessions that would end with yelling and broken beer bottles. Sometimes he threw things out the second story window at random and yelled at no one on particular.

  96. W.... F....

    Drummer and bass player been listening to Neu.

  97. s.... k....

    Why do Australians look so Australian?

    s.... k....

    fuckin' antipodean hosers

    s.... k....

    Stroke It yeh so do I. Dunno what it is, on paper by all accounts I probably should be Into them. But I just think they’re fucking shit

    s.... k....

    @JBT 2049 to me, they seem like decent musicians, but that doesn't make them good at making music. Their songs are crap and their following are a bunch of lazy druggies and potheads.

    s.... k....

    Australians be australian because they’re australian

    s.... k....

    @Barbarus Bloodshed lol I read it in aussie accent too XD

  98. H.... ....

    Ain't none of these mother fuckers look like they've showered in 2 months
