Overkill Songtext
von Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band

I can′t get to sleep
I think about the implications
Diving in too deep
Possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know we'll be all right
Perhaps it′s just imagination

Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights
And though there′s little variation
It nullifies the night
From overkill


Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day

I can′t get to sleep
I think about the implications
Diving in too deep
Possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations that
I know will be all right
It's just overkill

Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade aw-ay!

Thank you very much
C′mon, hey
Come on
C'mon, hey
