Deep in the bosom of the gentle night
Is when I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle and I fight dark forces in the clear moonlight
Without fear

Insomnia
I can't get no sleep

I used to worry
Thought I was going mad in a hurry
Getting stressed, making excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
Insomnia, please release me
And let me dream of making mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearing off tights with my teeth
But there's no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast
At least a couple of weeks since I last slept, kept taking sleepers
But now I keep myself pepped
Deeper still, the night
I write by candlelight, I find insight
Fundamental movement, huh, so when it's black
This insomniac, take an original tack
Keeps the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack

I gets no sleep

I can't get no sleep (no sleep, no sleep)

I can't get no sleep

I need to sleep, I can't get no sleep

I need to sleep, I can't get no sleep
