...And I Can't Sleep

It's one o clock and I can't sleep

Or at least I haven't tried

Something there is inside a man

Which cannot be denied

It's two o'clock and I can't sleep

Or at least I'm still awake

Something there is in consciousness

That slumber cannot break

There's a drunk on stage who believes in God

There's a girl with a tutu on

And a ten-year-old with hazel eyes

And a wino who you conned

It's three o'clock and I can't sleep

But I'm starting to look weak

Something there is in humankind

That fights when odds are bleak

It's four o'clock and I can't sleep

Or at least that's what I'll say

When my wife comes to wake me

I'll have lost another day

There's a best friend who has disappeared

And a car with a dented hood

Everybody said I follow you

But nobody understood

It's five o'clock and I'm asleep

But I think I'm still awake

Something there is in consciousness

That slumber cannot break

It's six o'clock and I'm not here

I'm fighting in some war

That nobody inside my head

Remembers anymore
