Lyrics

I'm Not Sleeping

[Verse 1]

I never go out, I just stay at home

Change my address, disconnect the phone

Turn off the TV because it bothers me

I've seen all that, all that I wanna see

[Pre-Chorus]

And if my friends ask where I've been

Just say I don't know what's become of him

[Chorus]

I'm not sleeping (I'm not sleeping)

I'm only resting my eyes

I'm not sleeping (I'm not sleeping)

I'm only takin' my time

[Verse 2]

Yeah, it's so hard to be responsible

Knowin' everything, everything that's possible

And when that bad wind, it comes blowin' in

I pack my things and I move on again

[Pre-Chorus]

Feed the rich, eat the poor

Stack their bodies outside my door

[Chorus]

'Causе I'm not sleeping (I'm not sleeping)

I'm only resting my eyes

I'm not sleeping (I'm not sleeping)

I'm only takin' my timе

[Bridge]

The world outside, it's such a dangerous place

I don't dare, I don't dare show my face

They got my number, man, yeah, they know where I live

Got no more to say, got no more to give

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]

Another night comes drawin' near

I lock my doors and I disappear

[Chorus]

I'm not sleeping (I'm not sleeping)

I'm only resting my eyes

Baby, I'm not sleeping (I'm not sleeping)

I'm only takin' my time

I'm not sleeping (I'm not sleeping)

Yeah, I'm only resting my eyes

I'm not sleeping (I'm not sleeping)

I'm only takin' my time

[Outro]

I'm not sleeping (I'm not sleeping)

I'm not sleeping (I'm not sleeping)

I'm not sleeping (I'm not sleeping)

I'm not sleeping (I'm not sleeping)

I'm not sleeping (I'm not sleeping)

I'm not sleeping (I'm not sleeping)

I'm not sleeping
