I hate the sound of an alarm clock in my ear When I've been up all night downing a case of beer I pray the Lord my soul for him to keep Don't you know that my rest just don't come cheap f** off I'm trying to sleep I'm trying to sleep Too much coffee I need a sleeping pill I need a rest but ya know I never will I've been awake so long feels like the four day creep It won't be long before they bury me six feet deep
When I get tired and longing for my bed I plug my ears, hide my achin' head I shut the world out, my seclusion is deep All I really want is to get some sleep A woman's touch is keeping me awake When it's morning I'm gonna need a break My mind's in shambles, my body's in a heap If I don't get some shut eye I'm gonna start to weep
