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