Bare***** Ladies - Who Needs Sleep? Lyrics
Words & music by steven page & ed robertsonNow I lay me down not to sleepI just get tangled in the sheetsI swim in sweat three inches deepI just lay back and claim defeatChapter read and lesson learnedI turned the lights off while she burnedSo while shes three hundred degreesI throw the sheets off and I freezeLids down, I count sheepI count heartbeatsThe only thing that counts isThat I wont sleepI countdown, I look aroundWho needs sleep?(well youre never gonna get it)Who needs sleep?(tell me whats that for)Who needs sleep?(be happy with what youre gettingTheres a guy whos been awakeSince the second world war)My hands are locked up tight in fistsMy mind is racing filled with listsOf things to do and things Ive doneAnother sleepless nights begunLids down, I count sheepI count heartbeatsThe only thing that counts isThat I wont sleepI countdown, I look aroundWho needs sleep?(well youre never gonna get it)Who needs sleep?(tell me whats that for)Who needs sleep?(be happy with what youre gettingTheres a guy whos been awakeSince the second world war)Who needs sleep?(well youre never gonna get it)Who needs sleep?(tell me whats that for)Who needs sleep?(be happy with what youre gettingTheres a guy whos been awakeSince the second world war)Theres so much joy in life,So many pleasures all aroundBut the pleasure of insomniaIs one Ive never foundWith all life has to offer,Theres so much to be enjoyedBut the pleasures of insomniaAre ones I cant avoidLids down, I count sheepI count heartbeatsThe only thing that counts isThat I wont sleepI countdown, I look aroundHala hala hala...Who needs sleep?(well youre never gonna get it)Who needs sleep?(tell me whats that for)Who needs sleep?(be happy with what youre gettingTheres a guy whos been awakeSince the second world war)
