I'm so wired,
   Very tired,
   Why can't I
   Close my eyes.
  
   Times speeding
   It's day, it's night, it's night, it's day
   And it's time
   I went to sleep.
   Chorus:
   Tired and sick, I'm sick and tired,
   I'm falling on my feet
   Tired and sick, I'm sick and tired,
   Why can't I close my eyes and go to sleep?
   It's not as easy as it seems.
  
   Sssh
   Draw the blinds
   Sssh
   Kill that light,
   Sssh
   Put down that book,
   Sssh
   The phone rings
   Sssh
   I'm not here
   Sssh
   I'm off the hook
  
   (I'm so wired)
   Close your eyes,
   (Very tired)
   Put down your head,
   (Why can't I)
   Go to sleep
   Close my eyes.
  
   If I took enough of these red things,
   Get some permanent sleep, blue things,
   What lullabys would you sing, white things
  
   I wanna go
   It's a long drive home
   Don't wanna stay,
   One more minute
  
   Close my eyes and go to sleep
   It's not as easy as it seems,
   Close my eyes and go to sleep
   I'm jumping fences, counting sheep
   I'm counting fences, jumping sheep
   I'm fencing jumpsuits in my sleep
   I'm counting fencing, I can't think
