 night  time is creeping,  still i  can't sleep
 where do  i go  when there's no  more to watch
  /5- /
 just an endless parade of what happened today
 in a far  away  country  a city  a town

 self  medication  is out  of the question
  /5- /
 i'm easily influenced under sedation
 so stare  in the fridge  and consider  my options
 hear cats  call for lovers  outside
 ]
 i wait  so I wait  for the rumblings  of buses and trains
 i'm sorry  my head  won't be on  it today
 'cause i haven't  had sleep  for a while
 ]
 won't  turn the light  on it wakes  up the silence
  /5- /
 stumbling around trying hard not to count down
 the time  is a misleading  snail  pace a drip feed
 i cannot  be the  only one
 ]
 i wait  so i wait  for the rumblings  of buses and trains
 i'm sorry  my head  won't be on  it today
 'cause i haven't  had sleep  for a while

/ /5-  (2x)
 concentrate  concentrate  on to-do  lists for monday and tuesday
 but my eyes  will not focus  my mind  floats away
  /5- /
 only twelve hours later i'm trying again
 as the skin  on my face  sees a dull  subtle change
 'cause i haven't  had sleep  for a while

 i wait  so I wait  for the rumblings  of buses and trains
 i'm sorry  my head  won't be on  it today
 'cause i haven't  had sleep  for a while
 That's it. Have fun!
