Sleep

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Spend my nights howlin' at the moon,

Never wake before noon,

When the sun, it rises,

Oh, it always rises soon,

'Cause i spend my nights howlin' at the moon, yeah,

I never get sleep, sleep, sleep,

No, i just reach, rea-, reach,

I can feel it on the ends of my fingers,

And taste it on the tips of my teeth,

So you see why i never get sleep,

(I can't get no sleep,

Don't know why,

I can't get no sleep,

Don't know why,

I can't get no sleep,

Don't know why,)

Spend my night shootin' at the stars, yeah,

Tryin' to change the world with this guitar,

And i know it's a long shot, but it's working out so far,

So i spend my nights shootin' at the stars, hey,

I never get sleep, sleep, sleep,

No, i just reach, rea-, reach,

I can feel it on the ends of my fingers,

And taste it on the tips of my teeth,

So you see why i never get sleep,

I can't get no sleep (never get sleep),

Don't know why,

I can't get no sleep (never get sleep),

Don't know why,

I can't get no sleep (never get sleep),

Don't know why,

I can't get no sleep,

(Count sheep),

I've already tried,

(Drink whiskey),

It makes my throat too dry,

(Smoke weed),

It makes my eyes all red,

(Take a pill, al),

What, and end up dead?

I can feel it on the ends of my fingers,

And taste it on the tips of my teeth,

So you see why i never get sleep, hey,

I never get sleep, sleep, sleep,

No, i just reach, rea-, reach,

I can feel it on the ends of my fingers,

And taste it on the tips of my teeth,

So you see why i never get sleep, yeah,

Yeah, you see why i never get sleep,

Oh, so you see why i never get sleep.
