Boomtown Rats - Sleep (Fingers' Lullaby) lyrics

I'm so wired, Very tired, Why can't I Close my eyes. Times speeding It's day, it's night, it's night, it's day And it's time I went to sleep. Chorus: Tired and sick, I'm sick and tired, I'm falling on my feet Tired and sick, I'm sick and tired, Why can't I close my eyes and go to sleep? It's not as easy as it seems. Sssh Draw the blinds Sssh k** that light, Sssh Put down that book, Sssh The phone rings Sssh I'm not here Sssh I'm off the hook (I'm so wired) Close your eyes, (Very tired) Put down your head, (Why can't I) Go to sleep Close my eyes. If I took enough of these red things, Get some permanent sleep, blue things, What lullabys would you sing, white things I wanna go It's a long drive home Don't wanna stay, One more minute Close my eyes and go to sleep It's not as easy as it seems, Close my eyes and go to sleep I'm jumping fences, counting sheep I'm counting fences, jumping sheep I'm fencing jumpsuits in my sleep I'm counting fencing, I can't think *written by Johnny Fingers *from the album "The Fine Art Of Surfacing"
