We scaled mountains we flew to the moon And yet I can't sleep We wish in fountains we swim in lagoons And yet I can't sleep This human race explores space and the sea And yet somehow still forty winks eludes me I wish on stars that the sandman will come
And send me to sleep I whisper many sweet nothings to mars Or I might weep I pray to aliens gracing the skies That they cast a spell so that I close my eyes We scaled mountains we flew to the moon And yet I can't sleep
