I Can't Sleep Lyrics

[00:08.86] What is that velvet slumber-shattering shriek
[00:13.05] How come one bird makes so much noise with its beak
[00:17.21] The song it's crocking on the harp of my nerves
[00:21.47] It's sucking all my diplomatic reserves
[00:25.02] Oh, I can't sleep, don't tell me I need vitamins
[00:29.79] Or minerals or other things that don't come cheap
[00:33.63] Oh, I can't sleep, I look as if a feathered freak
[00:38.32] Kept me from my dreams all week and I can't sleep
[00:42.87] I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't sleep
[00:47.09] I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't sleep
[00:51.40] I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't sleep
[00:55.31] I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't sleep
[01:00.97]
[01:03.32] What is this hurricane afflicting my sheets
[01:07.42] I spent an hour laying out flat and neat
[01:11.00] Now it's twisting or turning all down my legs to my feet
[01:15.29] Seems like a storm is brewing and I'm stewing in heat
[01:19.77] Oh, I can't sleep, don't tell me that I need to brew
[01:24.36] Steeped-up caffeine to the taste of rotten sheep
[01:28.34] Oh, I can't sleep, I look as if an evil gale
[01:33.01] Spun my sheet into a tail and I can't sleep
[01:37.57] I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't sleep
[01:41.81] I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't sleep
[01:46.02] I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't sleep
[01:50.24] I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't
[01:54.24]
[02:15.45] What are these pricklings popping up in my head
[02:19.61] Come all ye sicklings, come and join me in bed
[02:23.35] All these dreams of madness 'round my skull rattling
[02:27.38] Like the seeds in the maraca of a carnival game
[02:31.73] Oh, I can't sleep, don't tell me I need yoga
[02:35.96] 'Cause I'll dislocate my shoulder in a pillow-heap
[02:40.35] Oh, I can't sleep, I look as if some motions
[02:45.09] Have accorded me commotions and I can't sleep
[02:49.72] I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't sleep
[02:54.06] I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't sleep
[02:58.37] I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't sleep
[03:02.75] I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't sleep
[03:07.06] Naughty bird, he goes cheepy-cheepy
[03:11.20] Dusty sheet, it goes creepy-creepy
[03:15.57] Crazy thoughts, they go laby-laby
[03:19.73] Broken man, he goes weepy-wee
[03:23.60] Turn off that radio, I'm going mad
[03:30.20]
