Who Needs Sleep?
(by the Barenaked Ladies)
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
chorus:
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
Lids down, I count sheep, I count heartbeats, The only thing that counts is, that I won't sleep, I countdown, I look around
chorus:
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 pleasure of insomnia are ones I can't avoid
chorus:
*******
another one I love is "Insomnia" by Faithless, but I'm having problems finding the lyrics. Even though I'm in remission, I understand what you're going through, even sleep is still hard to find when you're not in cycle...
peace,
