I used to worry, thought I was goin' mad in a hurry
Without fear, insomnia, I can't get no sleep
Gettin' stress, makin' excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
I need to sleep, I can't get no sleep
So when it's black, this insomniac, take an original tack
Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast
I gets no sleep, I can't get no sleep
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I can't get no sleep, I can't get no sleep
I toss and turn without cease
Tearin' off tights with my teeth
Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers
Deeper still, that night I write by candle light
Insomnia, please, release me and let me dream of
But now I keep myself pepped
I struggle, fight dark forces in the clear moon light
I find insight, fundamental movement, uh
Pick up my pen and start to write
But there's no release, no peace
At least a couple of weeks
Makin' mad love to my girl on the heath
