I can't sleep tonight
How it is anyone can?
And I'm holding this pen
Like a gun in my hand
And there's a shiver of silence
Hanging over this land
I can't sleep tonight
How it is anyone can?
I can't sleep tonight
How is it anyone could?
Because the battle is raging
Between the evil and good
And the laws that I've lived by
I've always misunderstood
I can't sleep tonight
How is it anyone could?
I can't sleep tonight
I wonder if I ever will
Shining up on that hill?
Yeah love is a cup
One I never can fi ll
I can't sleep tonight
I wonder if I ever will
I can't sleep tonight
And I'm feeling half dead
And I think of the things
I know I should've said
This place is on fi re babe
And I built this bed
I can't sleep tonight
Babe I can't sleep tonight
I can't sleep tonight
Lord this must be a dream
Cause it feels at any moment
That I might start to scream
And there are things that I say
That I know I don't mean
I can't sleep tonight
Lord this must be a dream
I can't sleep tonight
I wonder if its because
I'm thinking about the person
I know I once was
I wonder where did he go
I wonder what is that he does
I can't sleep tonight
I wonder if it's because
I can't sleep tonight
Somebody get me a gun
Too many nights
When you're soul's on the run
How is it we became
That which we've become
I can't sleep tonight
Babe I can't sleep tonight
I can't sleep tonight
How is it anyone can?
When I'm holding this guitar
Like a gun in my hand
I act like a boy
When I should be a man
I can't sleep tonight
How is it anyone can?
