I'm Not Tired Lyrics

I wake up from a lack of sleep

Starving, bargaining, the sparks discharging and

My mind is turning tricks on me just like the ladies leaning in Mercedes

And everybody tells me that I better get to bed right now but I'm not tired

And everybody tells me that I oughta put my head down but I'm not tired

And everybody tells me that I gotta go to sleep right now but I'm not tired

No, I'm not tired

I haunt the night, a poltergeist as bold and frank as a broad daylight bank heist

Too ghostly tan to go outside I want to taunt and excite the zeitgeist

And everybody tells me that I better get to bed right now but I'm not tired

And everybody tells me that I oughta put my head down but I'm not tired

And everybody tells me that I gotta go to sleep right now but I'm not tired

Darlin', I'm hot-wired so joyride my disquiet mind

Baby, I'm hardwired for shallow passion void of interaction

That allows me to avoid the damage, and distract the panic

Manage my manic dissatisfaction actually come back and please don't sleep with me right now

'Cause I'm not tired

I'm staring down a barrel chest

I hear my heartbeats repeat 'til nothing's left

Escherian and Kafkaesque

Descend the staircase to keep me up again

And everybody tells me that I gotta go to bed right now but I'm not tired

And everybody tells me that I oughta put my head down Oh lord, I've tried

And everybody tells me that I better get to sleep right now

But I can't sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep right now.

I can't sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep right now.

I can't sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, Sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sssh
