No Sleep for the Wicked

It's worse by the day now, every time I lay down Words come alive in my head and they play loud It's like they cant find a way out Wanna pull the plug on their party, it's starting To worry me, can't get to sleep when I wanna do How would you feel if your lyrics just followed you? Everywhere you went from the street to the bed And repeated through the night everything you said Tried so many things, pen and a pad By the side of my bed but it's sending me mad Every time I recline, I decline to opine But there's always a rhyme at the back of my mind Tried sippin on bottles of wine when I dine, So sleep I can find when it's time for bedtime Rest my head fine, but it's just no use Sentences now they forming queues I reckon, It's worse me than bein heckled Right now my brains just a broken record Sleep diminishes, when I start a song And my mind won't stop cos I always gotta finish it And when that songs done through to the end The same track starts all over again It's like my mind can't function, needs words to munch on Came to a junction where traffic don't stop Counting sheep and they never ever go Losing sleep cause the words just flow Sounds in my head like a radio Lay awake all night, no sleep for the wicked Seems like the has become my foe At war in my head and he don't wanna go Til i've laid him to rest in the studio Stay awake all night, no sleep for the wicked There ain't nothing that's appealing looking at the ceiling Your eyes wide open wishing you were dreaming (dreaming) And still the words keep streaming It's only ever stops when I put em to rest Then i've shooken the stress, no less Plus i've tooken the best take let's say I ever coulda taken Lost weeks of sleep so I had to be patient You could be forsaken for thinking im mental I let it all out in the vocal booth, Syllables putting 'em to soulful use Released from within this ain't a joke it's truth Once I put em in a song, they can never bother me What the hell is wrong with me, I didn't choose it Absurd, why I gotta lock these words in the music Some would say i'm blessed with a talent and yes But only when i'm dead will they give it a rest Counting sheep and they never ever go Losing sleep cause the words just flow Sounds in my head like a radio Lay awake all night, no sleep for the wicked Seems like the has become my foe At war in my head and he don't wanna go Til i've laid him to rest in the studio Stay awake all night, no sleep for the wicked Tell me what's the reason I'm still fighting demons I'm asking what is their significance Tell me what's the reason I'm still fighting demons I'm pleading, I only wanna get some sleep Counting sheep and they never ever go Losing sleep cause the words just flow Sounds in my head like a radio Lay awake all night, no sleep for the wicked Seems like the has become my foe At war in my head and he don't wanna go Til i've laid him to rest in the studio Stay awake all night, no sleep for the wicked No sleep for the wicked no sleep for the wicked no sleep for the wicked no sleep for the wicked no sleep for the wicked no sleep for the wicked
