2 nights in a row
i never got to know
any sleep

my dad'd dien' deep
read em' and weep
so 2night's i didn't sleep

but now i am worn down
so today
i say
go back tto bed you old man
had about i9 can stand
need & em'
weep
need some sleeeeeeeep

deeeeeeeep

nedd to pass ways
these days

anyways
2 nights in a row
become a another day
that just don't pass away

2 nights without sleep
they be deep
a heep
of trouble
a shot of the double

so close your eyes
says good byes
to todays
wake up to tomorrow
forget yesterday's sorrow

2 nights without sleep
can take you so deep
but then you can borrow
from tomorrow
that you left yesterday
it went it's own way anyway

so close your eyes
no more tears to cry
just another goodbye
to yesterday
it's gone it's own way

so close your eye's
and wake up to-tomorrow
or shut your eyes
and say good byes
to yesterday's

either way's
the same games you play's
today's, tomorrows, yesterdays
they be all the same
game
you play
anyway

just tomorrrow
and yesterday
and 2 days passed away
without any sleep

so what for breakfast?
least in could ask us.

Lack of sleep can do that to ya, two days not too bad, more and you could go crazy, or a reasonable facsimille thereof...or more crazy than you already purport to be, can you see? Peace from me, ED
