Now I lay me down not to sleep
I just get tangled in the sheets
I swim in sweat 3 inches deep
Just lay back and claim defeat

Chapter read and lesson learned
Turn the lights off while she burns
So while she's 300 degrees,
I throw the sheets off and I freeze

Chorus:
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heart beats
The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep
I countdown, 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??
You're happy wiith what you get and there's a guy that's been awake
since the 2nd world war

Who needs sleep??
Well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what's that for?
Who need sleep??
You happy with what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since
the 2nd 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

(Chorus)

So much joy in life and so many pleasures all around
but the pleasure of insomnia is one I'd 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 heart beats
The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around

Halla halla halla

Who needs sleep??
Well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what's that for?
Who need sleep??
You hafta use what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since the
2nd world war

Who needs sleep??
Well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what's that for?
Who need sleep??
You hafta use what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since the
2nd world war
