Array ( [sid] => 79178 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Insomnia [time] => 2005-01-09 18:48:56 [hometext] => [bodytext] => It’s 3.00 o’ clock in the morning
I haven’t slept a-wink
Just smoked a big cigar
Freshened up my thoughts,

But I still can’t sleep
My eyes are heavy, but Zzzzz is miles away
It has been days
I think I’m going mad,

Probably a pack of Whiskey would help…
But it's not inviting sleep
I think I’ll pop the pill
But the intuition of my bodily chemicals
Is keeping sleep at bay,

So when can I really sleep?
Maybe I’ll just wait
I’ll read a book instead
Glance those intermediate pages,

Maybe I’ll fix a drink, a latte
Peanut butter sandwich would be good
Little bit of James Taylor wouldn’t hurt
Yet sleep is lurking somewhere out there
Too shy to come out and take me away,

I wanted to scream
Yeah right… that’ll bring in the mad-squad
Don’t want to be in a straightjacket,

Sure why not take a midnight swim
It would probably freeze my ass and the sleep
I really can’t sleep
Sleep where are you now?
Come to be, be good to me
