lyrics
You can't go to sleep
Sleep has got to come to you
You can't go to sleep
She's gotta come to you
She's a cold wind on your eyes
A glacier on your mind
She's a naive girl
Who thinks she fell in love for the first time
Don't say a thing, she comes for me
You can't go to sleep
Gotta make her feel unwanted
You can't go to sleep
You gotta make her want it
You can chaser round for hours
Adjusted eyes bouquet of flowers
But you'll come on too strong and
Burn holes in the ceiling with your eyes
And you swear you're getting close
You're tearing off her clothes
Well she'll spread wings
And you can't even sleep to dream to fly
Gonna make a habit
Of the medicine cabinet
GOnna make a habit
Hold down her wrists a
And hold down your eyelids
And fall asleep
