Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Last night you slept, you slept in fits
You smashed your windows bit by bit
You cried out (A bad dream)
Horror pictures, what a scene
[Verse 2]
Which way will things go tonight?
Toss and turn or sleep tight?
You can't win, you wonder why
That sleep is one thing you can't buy
[Verse 3]
You can't walk in your sleep
If you can't sleep
You can't talk in your sleep
If you can't sleep
[Verse 4]
Downed that pill hours ago
And time is passing oh so slow
Watch the clock (You're waiting)
It's five o'clock and the world is waking
[Verse 5]
That's the way things went tonight
Tossed and turned though you were tight
Exhaustion brings on desperation
Well there's still some consolation
[Verse 6]
You can't walk in your sleep
If you can't sleep
You can't talk in your sleep
If you can't sleep
[Verse 7]
Last night you slept, you slept in fits
You smashed your windows bit by bit
You cried out (A bad dream)
Horror pictures, what a scene
[Verse 8]
Which way will things go tonight?
Toss and turn or sleep tight?
You can't win, you wonder why
That sleep is one thing you can't buy
[Verse 9]
You can't walk in your sleep
If you can't sleep
You can't talk in your sleep
If you can't sleep
[Verse 10]
Can't walk (I can't walk)
Can't talk (I can't sleep)
Can't sleep (Oh no)
[Verse 11]
I can't walk (I can't walk)
I can't talk (I can't sleep)
I can't sleep (Oh no no no)
