Smithereens: Behind a Wall of Sleep Meaning
Behind a Wall of Sleep Lyrics
She had legs that never ended
I was halfway paralyzed.
She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal

Hmm, Belinda Carlisle is LA not Boston and not sure if she played bass. Hair like Jeannie shrimpton, bass player—lately I’ve been thinking Kim Gordon? Great song, one of the best in my opinion.

It was about a woman that played bass in a Boston band. She held the headstock of her bass near her face like Bill Wyman. Pat briefly dated her.

This was probably either DiNizio and or Babjak's (or both's) major if not secretive crush on either Suzanne Vega or Belinda Carlisle who they collaborated with in the past.

She had hair like JEANNIE SHIPTON back in 1965
She had legs the never ended
I wuz halfway paralyzed.
She wuz tall and cool and pretty and
She dressed as black as coal
If she'd ask me to I'd murder
I would GLADLY lose my soul
Now I LIE IN BED and think of her
sometimes I even weep
then I dream of HER
behind the wall of sleep
Well she held a bass guitar and
she was playing in a band and
she stood just like Bill Wyman
now I am her biggest fan
Now I know I'm one of MANY
who would like to be your friend
And I've GOT to find a way
to let you know I'm not like THEM
Now I lie in bed and think of her
sometimes I even weep
then I dream of her
behind the WALL of sleep
Got your number from a friend of mine
who lives in your hometown
Called you up to have a drink
your roomate said you weren't around
Now I KNOW I'm one of many
who would like to be your friend
and I've got to find a way to
let you know I'M not like THEM
Now I lie in bed and think of her
sometimes I even weep
then I dream of her
behind the wall of sleep
behind the wall of sleep
behind the WALL of sleep
behind the WALL of SLEEP.
[end] ... Reminiscing
