Lyrics

Sleepless.

Sleepless Sleepless Sleepless Sleepless
Sleepless Sleepless Sleepless Sleepless
Sleepless Sleepless

Afraid to curl up in a cozy comforter
the earplugs create an absence of sound
as the mind is forced to create
an altered psychic reality of nightmares
an insane midget killer waits in a door jam
holding a jagged knife above his head
holding a jagged knife above his head
holding a jagged knife above his head
salivating as he gouges my throat
and life slips away as cars drive by

Sleepless Sleepless Sleepless Sleepless

Based on petrified reality
a silvery van pulls up to the curb
as men with machine guns start shooting
as men with machine guns start shooting
as men with machine guns start shooting
as men with machine guns start shooting
as men with machine guns start shooting
as men with machine guns start shooting
as men with machine guns start shooting
as men with machine guns start shooting

as men with machine guns start shooting
on their agenda without regard to anyone
on their agenda without regard to anyone
I lay still on the asphalt of time
earthquakes and tidal waves end in death
and the post-holocaust world of woe
as i go quietly insane in a playground
and my penthouse is filled
with psychotic plastic plants
while I redial the telephone to call
for help that will never come
until I am alone
petrified of murdered dreams
petrified of murdered dreams
petrified of murdered dreams
petrified of murdered dreams
petrified of murdered dreams
as men with machine guns start shooting
petrified of murdered dreams

as men with machine guns start shooting
