Who needs it!?

(If only I could nap whenever I wanted to...)

Barenaked Ladies | Who Needs Sleep?

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

Chapter read and lesson learned
I turned the lights off while she burned
So while she's three hundred degrees
I throw the sheets off and I freeze

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
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?
(be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second 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

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
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?
(be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War)

Who needs sleep?
(well you're never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(tell me what's that for)
Who needs sleep?
(be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War)

There's so much joy in life,
so many pleasures all around
But the pleasure of insomnia
is one I've 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 heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around

Hala Hala Hala...

Who needs sleep?
(well you're never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(tell me what's that for)
Who needs sleep?
(be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War)

I have no need of sleep! I am the Sillyman, and silliness never sleeps, just takes a lot of bathroom breaks!

Huzzah!

Sleep - Jawbreaker

I spend my days now wrapped in veils of sleep
Caught in slumber's grasp nowhere that I should be
I grew so goddamned tired of fighting against these chains
No sign of relief no payment for my pain

I know that I must try to break out of
this cell I call my life.
To go to sleep is just to hide away.
I close my eyes so I won't see the things
I'd have to try to get.
I haven't tried I've only turned away.

In my sleeping world I thought that I was safe
Free from all the pain and burning light of day
But even in my sleep now life is less than kind
No escaping from this madness in my mind.
