I Want Some Sleep Lyrics

Dead of night, rain lets loose, that's been promised all month long

It washes things that ain't seen clean since before the cradle songs

I fall in to a bed that cost too much by a grand

The night time is a symphony of sounds

I want some sleep

Oh, I need some sleep

I want some sleep

Sleep of the dead

In my over-priced bed

Just like that baby's there in the middle of us both

I hold her hand, her tiny hand, she tries to wrest it loose

She wants her own space but wants to be alone

It can't be long before the cockerel crows

I want some sleep

Oh, I need some sleep

I want some sleep

Sleep of the dead

In my over-priced bed

Somewhere in the distance screams a banshee or a cat

I'm ready for its violent second act

I read today how lack of sleep could eat your mind

But I'm too tired to worry 'bout The Times

I want some sleep

Oh, I need some sleep

I want some sleep

Oh, I need some sleep

I want some sleep

Sleep of the dead

In my over-priced bed
