Insomnia
It’s 3 AM and I can’t sleep
Insomnia has got me beat
Think about this – think about that
think about the times of the past
lotta things in the world to know
lotta places in the world to go
Think about the things that make you wince
think about the things that make no sense
Parrot’s in the cage – turtle’s in the shell
Serpent’s on the ground – no one’s in hell
coffee’s made from beans but not the ones I’m eating
and it’s dark outside but I sure ain’t sleeping
I could read book or write a song
you could come on and play along
I could get a rag and clean the walls
everyone knows I’m pretty tall
Pickle ain’t sour as lemon tart toad
ain’t nobody askin for the lightest load
I wrote lotsa songs all about the same road
I spit fire and the dentist says it shows
Everybody’s gone to bed
I live my life inside my head
I think about my friends that died
I think I’ll set the world on fire
Everyone lights up a bowl
and everyone does what they’re told
and everyone is growing old
there’s plenty of things I’ll never know
I think I’ll set the world on fire
I think I spent my last tears crying
I think I just stayed up all night
Someone call and see if I’m alright
