Sleepless

Daybreak is dawning
I roam the East Side
By the river where the homeless sleep
Melatonin and Nighttime Nyquil
Tranquilizers can'y pacify me

Sleeping there in your arms
Like sipping lemonade in the shade
To sleep in your arms

Conversations cross the cortex
In the cocktail party speak
It's shit that I don't care about
But all the voices sound like me

Sleeping there in your arms
Like sipping lemonade in the shade
And I haven't been there
For days and oh so many days
It's all I want

Avoid caffeine
Practice yoga
Pop a codeine
Try counting sheep
Melatonin and Nighttime Nyquil
Tranquilizers and pints of Jim Beam

Maybe I could save me if I only knew the pill
To take me into your arms
And wash my cares away

To sleep in your arms
