Текст (слова) песни: Barenaked Ladies - Who Needs Sleep?

 
Now I lay me down not to sleep 
I just get tangled in the sheets 
I swim in sweat three inches deep 
Just lay back and claim defeat 
 
Chapter read and lesson learned 
I turned the lights off while she burned 
So while she’s three hundred degrees 
I throw the sheets off and I freeze 
 
Lids down 
I count sheep 
I count heartbeats 
The only thing that counts 
Is that I won’t sleep 
I count down 
I look around 
 
Who needs sleep? 
Well you’re never gonna get it 
Who needs sleep? 
Tell me what’s that for 
Who needs sleep? 
Be happy with what you get 
And there’s a guy that’s been awake since the second world war 
 
Who needs sleep? 
Well you’re never gonna get it 
Who needs sleep? 
Tell me what’s that for 
Who needs sleep? 
Be happy with what you get 
And there’s a guy that’s been awake since the second world war 
 
My hands are locked up tight in fists 
My mind is racing filled with lists 
Of things to do and things I’ve done 
Another sleepless night’s begun 
 
Lids down 
I count sheep 
I count heartbeats 
The only thing that counts 
Is that I won’t sleep 
I count down 
I look around 
 
Who needs sleep? 
Well you’re never gonna get it 
Who needs sleep? 
Tell me what’s that for 
Who needs sleep? 
Be happy with what you get 
And there’s a guy that’s been awake since the second world war 
 
Who needs sleep? 
Well you’re never gonna get it 
Who needs sleep? 
Tell me what’s that for 
Who needs sleep? 
Be happy with what you get 
And there’s a guy that’s been awake since the second world war 
 
So much joy in life 
So many pleasures all around 
The pleasure of insomnia 
Is one I’ve never found 
With all life has to offer 
There’s so much to be enjoyed 
But the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can’t avoid 
 
Lids down 
I count sheep 
I count heartbeats 
The only thing that counts 
Is that I won’t sleep 
I count down 
I look around 
 
Hala hala hala 
 
(REPEAT CHORUS)
