I Get No Sleep

(album: Rush Street - 1991)

Got a house full of fortune and they pay me in gold
For something I'd do for free
But there's still something missing that a man can't hold
It's like a weight over me
So scared the thrill will be gone
But I'm the one who keeps the pressure on

All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone
All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I know I'm not alone, ooh
Yeah, yeah

Well, I'm sick of walking 'round with blood in my eyes
Just keeping up with this town
I'm a roadrunner racing, but I don't see the signs
I've got to learn to slow down
My life makes it hard to complain
But there's times I'd take my school days back again

All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone
All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I know I'm not alone, ooh
Yeah, yeah

Four o'clock and I'm still counting sheep
Love to change the system, but I'm in too deep
I keep the pressure far away as I can
But it still comes back again, back again, oh, yeah

My life makes it hard to complain
But there's times I'd take my school days back again

All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone
All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I know I'm not alone

All I've got is all I need
(Yeah, yeah)
But I get no sleep and I'm sure I'm not alone
All I've got is all I need
I'm not alone, yeah, yeah, yeah
