ANTS' FAVORITE SONGS: INSOMNIA BY NIGHTWATCHERS

Deep in the bosom
of the gentle night
is when I search for the light
pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle
and fight dark forces in the clear moonlight
without fear

Insomnia

I can't get no sleep

I used to worry
thought I was going mad in a hurry
getting stressed
making excess mess in darkness
no electricity
something's all over me
greasy
Insomnia please release me
and let me dream of making mad love to my girl on the heath
tearing off tights with my teeth
but there's no release
no peace
I toss and turn without cease
like a curse
open my eyes and rise like yeast
at least a couple of weeks since I last slept kept taking sleepers
but now I keep myself pepped
deeper still
that night
I write by candlelight
I find insight
fundamental movement
so when it's black
this insomniac
take an original tack
keep the beast in my nature
under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep
