Lyrics
I used to worry, thought I was going mad
In a hurry, gettin' stressed
Making excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me
Greasy insomnia, please release me
And let me dream of making mad love to my girl on the heat
Tearing off tights with my teeth
But there's no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes, my eyes like these
At least, a couple of weeks since I last slept
Kept taking sleeping pills, but now, I keep myself pent
But still, the night I write by candlelight
I find insight, fundamental mood
So when it's black, this insomnia, take an original tact
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
No sleep
Yeah, I only smoke weed when I need to
And I need to get some rest, yo, where's the sense?
I confess, I burnt a hole in the mattress, yes
Yes, it was me, I plead guilty
And after counting three, I move back to the bay
Make my way to the refrigerator, one dry potato inside
No lie, not even bread jam
When the light above my head went, bam!
I can't sleep, something's all over me
Greasy insomnia, please release me
And let me dream about making mad love on the heath
Tearing off tights with my teeth
But there's no relief, I'm wide awake in my kitchen
It's black and I'm lonely
Oh, if I could only get some sleep
Creaking noises make my skin creep
I need to get some sleep
(I can't get no sleep)
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
