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.
Turn the lights off while she burns.
So while she's 300 degrees,
I throw the sheets off and I freeze.
Chorus
Lid's down, count sheep, count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep
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 have to live with what you're getting
There's a guy's been awake since the second World War
Repeat from ?Who needs sleep??
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 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
Chorus
