Sleep Songtext

von Allen Stone

Spend my nights howlin' at the moon,
Never wake before noon,
When the sun, it rises,
Oh, it always rises soon,
'Cause I spend my nights howlin' at the moon, yeah,

I never get sleep, sleep, sleep,
No, I just reach, rea-, reach,
I can feel it on the ends of my fingers,
And taste it on the tips of my teeth,
So you see why I never get sleep,

(I can't get no sleep,
Don't know why,
I can't get no sleep,
Don't know why,
I can't get no sleep,
Don't know why,)

Spend my night shootin' at the stars, yeah,
Tryin' to change the world with this guitar,
And I know it's a long shot, but it's working out so far,
So I spend my nights shootin' at the stars, hey,

I never get sleep, sleep, sleep,
No, I just reach, rea-, reach,
I can feel it on the ends of my fingers,
And taste it on the tips of my teeth,
So you see why I never get sleep,

I can't get no sleep (never get sleep),
Don't know why,
I can't get no sleep (never get sleep),
Don't know why,
I can't get no sleep (never get sleep),
Don't know why,
I can't get no sleep,

(Count sheep),
I've already tried,
(Drink whiskey),
It makes my throat too dry,
(Smoke weed),
It makes my eyes all red,
(Take a pill, Al),
What, and end up dead?

I can feel it on the ends of my fingers,
And taste it on the tips of my teeth,
So you see why I never get sleep, hey,

I never get sleep, sleep, sleep,
No, I just reach, rea-, reach,
I can feel it on the ends of my fingers,
And taste it on the tips of my teeth,
So you see why I never get sleep, yeah,
Yeah, you see why I never get sleep,
Oh, so you see why I never get sleep.
