Riverboat Gamblers (The)
Sleepless
Awake on a worn out mattressHard, comfortlessNo matter which way my body layI feel, I feel the change to lose consciousness existOnly for a momentThen like the click of a metronome I turn, I turnTurn on the TVCommercials for girls with low self-esteemI'm uneasySo I turn it off againCan't make my thoughts stop sprintingCan't pick out another songNot to refrain from its pounding rhythmGive worry a beat so it can march alongMy heart throbs a pulse I can feel itMight as well be a punch in the chestScreaming wake up, wake upWhat mistakes did you makeCompletely exhausted, entirely awakeCounting sheepConstantly bleating (wake up, wake up)No sign of sleep, no chance for reliefLetras de cancionesFrom closeted skeletons telling meEloquent lies on repeatEvery defeat in my mind4 million timeswith perfect precision decisions must be analyzedAnd I wait, wide awakeConcentrate on my breathingGlow stars on the ceiling dissipateCounting minutes till the sun comes upAnd I hear the hymn of garbage trucks, till thenI'll be counting sheepConstantly bleating (wide awake)No sign of sleep, no chance for reliefFrom closeted skeletons telling meEloquent lies on repeatEvery defeat in my mind4 million timeswith perfect precision decisions must be analyzed(Somna-somnambulance)
