I can't stay awake
Somebody help me, please
I have too many fingers
Some of them need to leave
Help me out of my body
Help me not to sleep
I can't stay awake
Somebody help me, please
I have too many pills
Some of them need to leave
Get them out of my body
Get them out, please
There's no good way to say good-bye
I'm only good at saying, "Hi."
So I guess I'll go away
Touch the sun and forget about today
I can't stay awake
Somebody, please, help me
I have too many fingers
Some of them need to leave
Help me out of my body
Help me not to sleep
There's no good way to say good-bye
I'm only good at saying, "Hi."
So I guess I'll go away
Touch the sun and forget about today
I can't stay awake
Somebody help me, please
I can't stay awake
Somebody, please, help me
