I need a night off but I'll take all year
will you take any message?
I need a night off
I can't stay here
I'm sure to find a way out
of this

I need a night off just read my lips
are you getting the message?
I'm sick as a dog
but I'll just say this
you're as sick as I am

so what do you think about me?
what do you think about me?
everyone around me
is driving me mad

here I go
along this road
feeling I don't want to slow down

these days of obsession
I need a night off because life's too dear
let me show you my photographs
see me work
see me rest
see me play
o I'm sure I had it better
back then

so what do you think about me?
I couldn't live without me
but everything about me
is driving me mad

here I go
along this road
feeling I don't want to slow
run so hard
I lose my breath
one thing I don't want to know now

these days of obsession
delirious
& uncertain still
& will they always stay
uncertain still
