I'm a certified insomniac
That's got the sandman terrified
Now I'm hoarding all my thoughts
In the bags under my eyes
My head hangs heavy
As I'm flying through the sky
You can try to cut me down
But we'll cut you down to size
Is it worth it?
Nobody is perfect
Who's to say?
Once again, I can't sleep at night
And I toss and turn and I count my sheep
But the sandman has forgotten me again
I can't sleep tonight
And I toss and turn and I count my sheep
But the sandman has forgotten me again
Forgotten me again
I need a break from these nightmares and dreamscapes
Think about tomorrow wakin up with a stomach ache
Think about my problems
Thinkin about your problems too
So tell me now, is it worth it?
I know that nobody is perfect
Who's to blame?
Once again, I can't sleep at night
And I toss and turn and I count my sheep
But the sandman has forgotten me again
I can't sleep tonight
And I toss and turn and I tuck me in
But the sandman has forgotten me again
Forgotten me again
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
To live life is free but the cost comes in trust
And you must adjust
To the changing of the tides
Or the current will eat you up
Like the burning sunrise
And all's not what is seems
All is but a dream after all
Once again, I can't sleep at night
And I toss and turn and I count my sheep
But the sandman has forgotten me again
I can't sleep tonight
And I toss and turn and I tuck me in
But the sandman has forgotten me again
I can't sleep at night
And I toss and turn and I count my sheep
But the sandman has forgotten me again
I can't sleep tonight
(I can't sleep tonight)
And I said my prayers and I brushed my teeth
But the sandman has forgotten me again
Forgotten me again
