rate me

Words & music by steven page & ed robertson<br><br>Now I lay me down not to sleep<br>I just get tangled in the sheets<br>I swim in sweat three inches deep<br>I just lay back and claim defeat<br><br>Chapter read and lesson learned<br>I turned the lights off while she burned<br>So while she's three hundred degrees<br>I throw the sheets off and I freeze<br><br>Lids down, I count sheep<br>I count heartbeats<br>The only thing that counts is<br>That I won't sleep<br>I countdown, I look around<br><br>Who needs sleep? <br>(well you're never gonna get it)<br>Who needs sleep? <br>(tell me what's that for)<br>Who needs sleep? <br>(be happy with what you're getting<br>There's a guy who's been awake<br>Since the second world war)<br><br>My hands are locked up tight in fists<br>My mind is racing filled with lists<br>Of things to do and things I've done<br>Another sleepless night's begun<br><br>Lids down, I count sheep<br>I count heartbeats<br>The only thing that counts is<br>That I won't sleep<br>I countdown, I look around<br><br>Who needs sleep? <br>(well you're never gonna get it)<br>Who needs sleep? <br>(tell me what's that for)<br>Who needs sleep? <br>(be happy with what you're getting<br>There's a guy who's been awake<br>Since the second world war)<br><br>Who needs sleep? <br>(well you're never gonna get it)<br>Who needs sleep? <br>(tell me what's that for)<br>Who needs sleep? <br>(be happy with what you're getting<br>There's a guy who's been awake<br>Since the second world war)<br><br>There's so much joy in life,<br>So many pleasures all around<br>But the pleasure of insomnia<br>Is one I've never found<br>With all life has to offer,<br>There's so much to be enjoyed<br>But the pleasures of insomnia<br>Are ones I can't avoid<br><br>Lids down, I count sheep<br>I count heartbeats<br>The only thing that counts is<br>That I won't sleep<br>I countdown, I look around<br><br>Hala hala hala...<br><br>Who needs sleep? <br>(well you're never gonna get it)<br>Who needs sleep? <br>(tell me what's that for)<br>Who needs sleep? <br>(be happy with what you're getting<br>There's a guy who's been awake<br>Since the second world war)
