Sleep (Fingers Lullaby) |
| I’m so wired, |
| Very tired, |
| Why can’t I |
| Close my eyes. |
| Times speeding |
| It’s day, it’s night, it’s night, it’s day |
| And it’s time |
| I went to sleep. |
| Tired and sick, I’m sick and tired, |
| I’m falling on my feet |
| Tired and sick, I’m sick and tired, |
| Why can’t I close my eyes and go to sleep? |
| It’s not as easy as it seems. |
| Sssh |
| Draw the blinds |
| Sssh |
| Kill that light, |
| Sssh |
| Put down that book, |
| Sssh |
| The phone rings |
| Sssh |
| I’m not here |
| Sssh |
| I’m off the hook |
| (I'm so wired) |
| Close your eyes, |
| (Very tired) |
| Put down your head, |
| (Why can’t I) |
| Go to sleep |
| Close my eyes. |
| If I took enough of these red things, |
| Get some permanent sleep, blue things, |
| What lullabies would you sing, white things |
| I wanna go |
| It’s a long drive home |
| Don’t wanna stay, |
| One more minute |
| Close my eyes and go to sleep |
| It’s not as easy as it seems, |
| Close my eyes and go to sleep |
| I’m jumping fences, counting sheep |
| I’m counting fences, jumping sheep |
| I’m fencing jumpsuits in my sleep |
| I’m counting fencing, I can’t think |
