Insomniac Blues for Matthew
Toothpick's in my eyelids
Lying wide awake in bed
Tossin' and turnin' like the sea
Moonlight shinin' in
Like headlights in my room
Hypnotized by the strips on my TV
Whoo, I'd give anything
For just one goodnight sleep
One goodnight sleep
Counted a hundred different
Herds of sheep
Poured a bottle
Off NyQuil in my veins
That alarm clock like a time bomb
Keeps ticking the night away
And morning weighin'
Heavy on my brain
Whoo, I'd do anything
For just one goodnight sleep
One goodnight sleep
Sunrise should find my eyes
Closed for ever more
Place a red rose across my chest
And carve on my tombstone
For all the world to see
Her memory would not let me rest
Whoo, I'd give anything
For just one goodnight sleep
Whoo, I'd give anything
For just one goodnight sleep
One goodnight sleep
