Billy Pilgrim - Insomniac lyrics

Falling into the sheets at night

I place my hands flat on my chest

I feel the heart beat back the night

I try counting sheep, and I talk to the shepherd

And I play with my pillow for ever and ever

I sit alone and I watch the clock

I breathe in on the tick and out on the tock

Refrain:

I can hear your bare feet on the kitchen floor

I don't have to have these dreams no more

Cause I've found someone just to hold me tight

Hold the insomniac all night

Dig my head down deep so I can't hear the cars outside on the street

And the stars are laughing

They get a kick out of my misery

I tried everything short of Aristotle to Dramamine

And the whiskey bottle

Pray for the day when my ship comes in

I can sleep the sleep of the just again

Refrain

Instrumental
