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 (slow) Chapter read and lesson learned. Turn the lights off while she burns. So while she's 300 degrees, I throw the sheets off and I freeze. Chorus Lid's down, count sheep, count heartbeats The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep 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 You have to live with what you're getting There's a guy's been awake since the second World War Repeat from ?Who needs sleep?? 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. Chorus 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 Chorus Chorus Chorus
