No Sleep Blues

Lyrics

Cracks rack the windows Howls hold the floor Rains rot the rafters Do you just have to snore? It's a most inclement climate For the season of the night There's a mouse playing football I thought they didn't like the light And the dawn comes sneaking up When it thinks I'm not looking I'm starting to grieve, babe I used to know but now I believe, babe Tell me sleep is a gas I wanna lay down But I'm sorry I woke and now Now I've got the no sleep blues There's mayhem in this mansion Since the cows werе coming home With delirium, no sleepum In a cloud of nylon foam But relеase scours the outhouse When a hard rain sears the sky And if you let the pigs decide it They'll put you in the sty And the dawn comes sneaking up When it thinks I'm not looking I'm starting to grieve, babe I used to know but now I believe, babe Tell me sleep is a gas I wanna lay down But I'm sorry I woke and now Now I've got the no sleep blues I think I'll get a picture I think I'll put it on a nail And then I think I'll go and get another one And I'll put it in a pail But the pail, it got so rusty I called it red, red, red for fun And it leapt like a lever Till you oughta seen it run And the dawn comes sneaking up When it thinks I'm not looking I'm starting to grieve, babe I used to know but now I believe, babe Tell me sleep is a gas I wanna lay down But I'm sorry I woke and now Now I've got the no sleep blues Science of the future Declared itself no part Aloof like a Sultan In the autumn of your heart But the heart, it got so hearty And it rolled for the shore When the sailors fired a big salute Which made my ears quite sore And the dawn comes sneaking up When it thinks I'm not looking I'm starting to grieve, babe I used to know but now I believe, babe Tell me sleep is a gas I wanna lay down But I'm sorry I woke and now Now I've got the no sleep blues
