Insomnia

There’s a light bulb danglin' from string
It’s slowly swayin' up over my head now
As I jot down the words that’ll never be sung
And wait for my headache to numb
And the wind sounds as if the world’s sighin'
And the moon’s just a torn fingernail
As the TV flickers and hums by the wall
And I wait for my eyesight to fade
So, so, so
It’s so damn slow
So, so, so
It’s so damn slow
And the bright-eyed choke on ambition
And the old folks circle their graves
And the young ones are busy destroyin' their names
And you’re still just wastin' away
I sit and watch the screen for a message
Some kinda sign that says we’re OK
But the screen stays blank 'till I turn the thing off
And wait for my conscience to break
So, so, so
It’s so damn slow
So, so, so
It’s so damn slow
I hope you’re learnin' to listen
And I hope you’re learnin' to stay
And I hope you find what you’re missin'
And I hope that you’re makin' your way
But I’m a headcase if I don’t keep movin'
And my head hurts if I don’t sit still
It’s an itch that I’ll never stop scratchin'
It’s a hole that I’ll never quite fill
So
Ooo-o-oo, oo
Ooo-oo, oo
Ooo-o-oo, oo
Ooo-oo, oo
