Insomnia Songtext
von Faithless

I can′t get no sleep

I can't get no sleep

I need to sleep, I can′t get no sleep

(I need to sleep)
Deep in the bosom of the gentle night
Is when I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle and fight dark forces in the clear moonlight
Without fear
Insomnia

I can't get no sleep

I can't get no sleep


I used to worry, thought I was going mad in a hurry
Gettin′ stressed, makin′ excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
Insomnia, please release me and let me dream
Of makin′ mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearin' off tights with my teeth

But there′s no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes, rise like yeast.
At least a couple of weeks
Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers
But now I keep myself pep
Deeper still, the night
I write by candlelight, I find insight
Fundamental movement

So when it′s black
This insomnia takin'-original-tack(?)
Keep the beast in my nature
Under ceaseless attack... I gets no sleep

I can't get no sleep

I can′t get no sleep

I can′t get no sleep

I need to sleep, I can't get no sleep


I need to sleep, I can′t get no sleep
