Who Needs Sleep?

So many pleasures all around

There’s a guy who’s been awake
I swim in sweat three inches deep

(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Just lay back and claim defeat
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Lids down, I count sheep

That I won’t sleep
Another sleepless night’s begun

The only thing that counts is

Who needs sleep?
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(Tell me what’s that for)
I throw the sheets off and I freeze
Who needs sleep?

I turned the lights off while she burned
Who needs sleep?
I countdown, I look around
Be happy with what you’re getting
Since the second world war
Who needs sleep?
Chapter read and lesson learned
Who needs sleep?
(Hala hala hala)
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Since the second world war
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Since the second world war
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Who needs sleep?
Who needs sleep?
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Who needs sleep?
There’s a guy who’s been awake
The only thing that counts is
Since the second world war
Who needs sleep?
So while she’s three hundred degrees
Since the second world war
Who needs sleep?
(Tell me what’s that for)
Is one I’ve never found
Be happy with what you’re getting
Who needs sleep?
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
Be happy with what you’re getting
That I won’t sleep
The only thing that counts is
Who needs sleep?
My mind is racing filled with lists

There’s a guy who’s been awake
Who needs sleep?
There’s a guy who’s been awake
I count heartbeats
Since the second world war
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
(Tell me what’s that for)

Who needs sleep?
There’s so much to be enjoyed
Who needs sleep?
Since the second world war
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
Be happy with what you’re getting
Who needs sleep?
Of things to do and things I’ve done

Since the second world war
But the pleasures of insomnia
I countdown, I look around
That I won’t sleep

I count heartbeats
There’s a guy who’s been awake
(Tell me what’s that for)
I countdown, I look around
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
(Tell me what’s that for)
(Tell me what’s that for)

With all life has to offer
Lids down, I count sheep
My hands are locked up tight in fists
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Since the second world war
Who needs sleep?
Are ones I can’t avoid
Who needs sleep?
So much joy in life
Who needs sleep?
Who needs sleep?
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
Who needs sleep?

(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?

(Tell me what’s that for)

(Well you’re never gonna get it)
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
There’s a guy who’s been awake
(Tell me what’s that for)
Be happy with what you’re getting
I count heartbeats
Who needs sleep?
Who needs sleep?
Lids down, I count sheep
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
But the pleasure of insomnia
(Tell me what’s that for)

(Tell me what’s that for)
