Lyrics
Now I lay me down not to sleep I just get tangled in the sheets I swim in sweat three inches deep 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 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 gettin' There's a guy whose been awake since the second world war (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 gettin' There's a guy whose 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 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 gettin' There's a guy whose been awake since the second world war (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 gettin' There's a guy whose been awake since the second world war So much joy in life So many pleasures all around But the pleasure of insomnia Is one I've never found With all I've had to offer There's so much to be enjoyed But the pleasures of insomnia Are one's I can't avoid Lids down, I count sheep I count heartbeats The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep I countdown, I look around (Hala, hala, hala) 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 gettin' There's a guy whose been awake since the second world war (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 gettin' There's a guy whose been awake since the second world war 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 gettin') (There's a guy whose been awake since the second world war) 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 gettin') (There's a guy whose been awake since the second world war) 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 gettin' There's a guy whose been awake since the second world war (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 gettin' There's a guy whose been awake since the second world war
