I used to worry thought I was goin' mad in a hurry
Gettin' stress makin' excess mess in darkness
No electricity something's all over me greasy
Insomnia please release me and let me dream of
Makin' mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearin' 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 takin' sleepers
But now I keep myself pepped
Deeper still that night I write by candle light
I find insight fundamental movement
So when it's black this insomniac take an original tack
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
No 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
Creeky noises make my skin creep
I need to get some sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
