And here we are.
Half-past three in the morning;
I can't get no sleep.

Yeah.
Yeah.

I never sleep.
I never sleep.
I never sleep.
I never sleep.
I never sleep.

Yeah, I only smoke weed when I need to,
And I need to get some rest. Yo, where's the cess?
I confess, I burned a hole in the mattress,
Yes yes it was me, I plead guilty,
And at the count of three I pull back the duvet,
Make my way to the refrigerator,
One dry potato inside, no lie,
Not even bread, jam,
When the light above my head went bam.

I can't see, something's all over me,
Greasy. Insomnia; please release me,
And let me dream about making mad love on the heath,
Tearing off tights with my teeth,
But there's no relief,
I'm wide awake in my kitchen,
It's black and I'm lonely.
Oh if I could only get some sleep?
Creaky noises make my skin creep,
I need to get some sleep.
I can't get no sleep.

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 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
So when it's black this insomniac, taking original tack
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep
