Now I lay me down not to sleep.
|
I just get tangled in the sheets.
|
I swim in sweat 3 inches deep
|
Just lay back and claim defeat
|
Chapter read and lesson learned.
|
Turn the lights off while she burns.
|
So while she's 300 degrees,
|
I throw the sheets off and I freeze.
|
Chorus:
|
Lids down, I count sheep
|
I count heart beats.
|
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??
|
You're happy wiith what you get and there's a guy that's been awake
|
since the 2nd world war.
|
Who needs sleep??
|
Well you're never gonna get it.
|
Who needs sleep??
|
Tell me, what's that for?
|
Who need sleep??
|
You happy with what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since
|
the 2nd 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.
|
(Chorus)
|
So much joy in life and so many pleasures all around
|
but the pleasure of insomnia is one I'd 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.
|
Lids down, I count sheep
|
I count heart beats.
|
The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep
|
I countdown, I look around
|
Halla halla halla
|
Who needs sleep??
|
Well you're never gonna get it.
|
Who needs sleep??
|
Tell me, what's that for?
|
Who need sleep??
|
You hafta use what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since
|
the
|
2nd world war
|
Who needs sleep??
|
Well you're never gonna get it.
|
Who needs sleep??
|
Tell me, what's that for?
|
Who need sleep??
|
You hafta use what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since
|
the
|
2nd world war
