The Riverboat Gamblers - Sleepless lyrics

Awake on a work out mattress Hard, comfortless No matter which way my body lay I feel, I feel the change to lose consciousness exist Only for a moment Then like the click of a metronome I turn, I turn Turn on the TV Commercials for girls with low self-esteem I'm uneasy So I turn it off again Can't make my thoughts stop sprinting Can't pick out another song Not to refrain from its pounding rhythm Give worry a beat so it can march along My heart throbs a pulse I can feel it Might as well be a punch in the chest Screaming wake up, wake up What mistakes did you make Completely exhausted, entirely awake Counting sheep Constantly beating (wake up, wake up) No sign of sleep, no chance for relief From closeted skeletons telling me Eloquent lies on repeat Every defeat in my mind 4 million times With perfect precision decisions must be an*lyzed And I wait, wide awake Concentrate on my breathing Glow stars on the ceiling dissipate Counting minutes till the sun comes up And I hear the hymn of garbage trucks, till then I'll be counting sheep Constantly beating (wide awake) No sign of sleep, no chance for relief From closeted skeletons telling me Eloquent lies on repeat Every defeat in my mind 4 million times With perfect precision decisions must be an*lyzed
