I tried to close my eyes last night
But I couldn't sleep a wink
Yesterday raised it's calloused head
And robbed me of all my time and sleep
And I'm so tired
I don't know what to do
I'm so very f*cking tired
I'm dead upon my feet
But you say I'm out of my mind
You know it's been two weeks
I'm almost going insane
And I'm so out of it I'm losing the plot
I'd sell my very soul
So I could have me some sleep
I'd give up everything I have
Just to close my eyes...
Oh, Christ! I'm so tired I don't know what to do
If I had another smoke I'd end up so out of it
I could curse the lord and all the angels
But tell me what good would it do?
Still you say it's all in my head
If I didn't know better I'd curse you besides
Christ, I just can't sleep I'm going insane
It's been two weeks of tossing and turning
And I'd give up everything I have
Just to close my eyes...
Yes I'd sell my very soul
For some peace of mind
I'd sell my very soul
Just to close my eyes...
