i just wish to sleep
but the phone keeps ringing
it's never FOR me
but it still wakes me

why can't I just live in silence?
just for a few hours
so i can catch the sleep
that fell from me last night

i'm wide awake, yet my minds in exile
and i can't bring it back
time is closing in
but these is not enough of it

my face all hot
my head feels dazed
even the cool fan
won't take away this haze

just knock me out, please!
or give me sleeping pills
cause at this very moment
i wish to feel no ill

please try to understand
it's not you,
it's not anyone but me
that can settle this brain down

hell i've got to clean the house
it can wait til later
but when if my eyes will not close
i may never sleep again

such comfort here in bed
still my head won't rest
i'll have another cigarette
and try again...
ENDE
