British Sea Power - To Get To Sleep lyrics

rate me

Took a pill last night Just to get to sleep Put me on my back Not on my feet Propylene across your eyes To take me to the land of sighs Had a drink last night Just to get to sleep Put me on my back Knocked me off my feet Filled my skin with ethylnol To find some peace, to let it fall Eight hours a day - call it twenty years There's a place you can go Free of lust, cupidity and fear Oh it left my heart broken It took my breath away A lesson open A little more each day A little eyesore A little Nytol A little heartache A little soothe-all Melatonin, a little dose Takes things to a peaceful close Commerce runs through your veins And takes you from this waking plane Industy on your side To do what you do When you get tired Eight hours a day - call it twenty years There's a place you can go Free of lust, cupidity and fear Oh it left my heart broken It took my breath away A little lesson open A little more each day A little eyesore A little Nytol A little heartache A little soothe-all A little eyesore A little Nytol A little heartache A little soothe-all
