Who Needs Sleep? |
Now I lay me down not to sleep |
I just get tangled in the sheets |
I swim in sweat three inches deep |
I just lay back and claim defeat |
Chapter read and lesson learned |
I turned the lights off while she burned |
So while she’s three hundred degrees |
I throw the sheets off and I freeze |
Lids down, I count sheep |
I count heartbeats |
The only thing that counts is |
That I won’t sleep |
I countdown, I look around |
Who needs sleep? |
Well you’re never gonna get it |
Who needs sleep? |
Tell me what’s that for |
Who needs sleep? |
Be happy with what you’re getting |
There’s a guy who’s been awake |
Since the Second World War |
My hands are locked up tight in fists |
My mind is racing, filled with lists |
Of things to do and things I’ve done |
Another sleepless night’s begun |
There’s so much joy in life |
So many pleasures all around |
But the pleasure of insomnia |
Is one I’ve never found |
With all life has to offer |
There’s so much to be enjoyed |
But the pleasures of insomnia |
Are ones I can’t avoid |
Hala Hala Hala |
