[ti: Who Needs Sleep?]
[length: 03:44]
[00:17.47]Now I lay me down not to sleep
[00:21.81]I just get tangled in the sheets
[00:26.18]I swim in sweat three inches deep
[00:30.55]Just lay back and claim defeat
[00:35.91]
[00:43.31]Chapter read and lesson learned
[00:47.63]I turned the lights off while she burned
[00:51.61]So while she’s three hundred degrees
[00:56.17]I throw the sheets off and I freeze
[01:00.19]Lids down, I count sheep
[01:01.99]I count heartbeats
[01:03.29]The only thing that counts is that I won’t sleep
[01:05.42]I countdown, I look around
[01:07.13](Who needs sleep)
[01:08.38]Well you’re never gonna get it
[01:09.96](Who needs sleep)
[01:10.54]Tell me what’s that for
[01:12.10](Who needs sleep)
[01:12.79]Be happy with what you’re gettin’
[01:13.82]There’s a guy whose been awake since the second world war
[01:16.18](Who needs sleep)
[01:17.05]Well you’re never gonna get it
[01:18.32](Who needs sleep)
[01:19.11]Tell me what’s that for
[01:20.62](Who needs sleep)
[01:21.39]Be happy with what you’re gettin’
[01:22.47]There’s a guy whose been awake since the second world war
[01:26.81]
[01:33.65]My hands are locked up tight in fists
[01:37.94]My mind is racing filled with lists
[01:42.21]Of things to do and things I’ve done
[01:46.65]Another sleepless night’s begun
[01:50.50]Lids down, I count sheep
[01:52.38]I count heartbeats
[01:53.86]The only thing that counts is that I won’t sleep
[01:55.88]I countdown, I look around
[01:57.64](Who needs sleep)
[01:58.88]Well you’re never gonna get it
[02:00.02](Who needs sleep)
[02:00.95]Tell me what’s that for

[02:15.18]So much joy in life
[02:16.55]So many pleasures all around
[02:19.23]But the pleasure of insomnia
[02:21.44]Is one I’ve never found
[02:23.58]With all I’ve had to offer
[02:25.45]There’s so much to be enjoyed
[02:27.85]But the pleasures of insomnia
[02:30.07]Are one’s I can’t avoid
[02:32.42]Lids down, I count sheep
[02:34.12]I count heartbeats
