Insomnia

(album: Yum Yum Bedlam - 2021)

Shaggy the Airhead on the beat
"Oh my God"
"Oh no"
"When humans corrode"
"Fuck, man, you look so old"
"You sure you ain't dead?"
"Seriously, you look bad"

Hey, I'm up in my bedroom studying doom
As the sun goes up and down like a yo-yo
Dope-sick bozo, toxic, loco
Pop six NoDoz, the clock ticks slow
Don't wind it, or a dark demon will charge
Dislodge your skull like a spine broke
My plug he pulled it, my load exploded
Invoked a mind stroke
You know that my ears was blowing out a blood red smoke
Rolling off the ledge and down it float
Surrounded a meth head, astounded, cloaked
The fool inhaled it "Did it buzz him?" Nope
His eyeballs popped out and got stuck down his throat
He choked, "Get behind me, do the Heimy"
I did him one better, the "never mind me"
And while he died, I did the "you can't find me"
Seventeen thousand, six hundred and sixty-five
Now I'm counting sheep
Jumping off a cliff, they each committing suicide
They land in a bloody heap
I keep hearing that flesh smack and that meat slap
Them bones snap, and that heap stack
I seen their feet tap, and that's when, in fact
It dawned on me, "That beat's fact"
But who's that creep in a cheap-ass sheep suit? Me?
Next for the monster leap
A dream, it's likely, seems it might be
Thang is, I'm not asleep
Mr. Flintstone imports Cuban cigars
And yabadabbles in cocaine
His do-bot Barney got a fly hooker for a wife
Sweet Champagne Betty Jane
Now Barney's hot ass as Betty's
Pink peckerwoods, yeah they lead separate lives
But if you dicking Champagne Betty at her crib
Barney watching yo ass, jacking off close by
Thoughts in my head bleeding out of my orifices
While I'm fucking fine ass twin porpuses
Is this a grisly clown being eaten by my teddy bear?
Of course it is

I need some shut-eye (I just need some sleep)
Why can't I doze off? (I'm behind on sleep)
I need some shut-eye (I'm having trouble with sleepin')
Why won't I drift off? Why?
I need some shut-eye (I just need some sleep)
Why can't I doze off? (I'm behind on sleep)
I need some shut-eye (I'm having trouble with sleepin')
Why won't I drift off? Why?

I'm assuming you think I toss and turn
All day and night, but the fact is
Eight inches deep, my body outline pressed
Indented and print into my mattress
Laying face down, my life revolves
Around the sounds of my neighbors' lives
Heard through the wall of my apartment
They fight, fuck, snore, fuck, snore, fuck, fight
But the other night wasn't right, instead of "take it to the face"
I heard "get ready with the baby wipe"
Then I heard the door bust in
Three guys, shots, screams, I thought, "This is tight"
Crying all night, at dawn's first light
Loud music, trying to drown and electric knife
Tape rip, bag zip, took a quick trip, tears drip
Slipped on a slipknot and rope gripped tight
Why can't I sleep? I'm so sleepy, whole planet's sleeping so easy
My brain is damaged completely, I'm creeping (Come on)
Why can't I sleep? I'm so sleepy, whole planet's sleeping so easy
My brain is damaged completely, I'm creeping
Miss Flintstone, Wilma goody two shoes
She love baking lots of cookies
Southern bell gone to hell, she learned how to make her pussy pop
And became the Octopussy
Gash flasher, known to pop paparazzi
For pussy pics, she's followed around
Throw a ball from across the street
That neden will catch it, toss it up, and swallow it down
No slumber, in just under a month
Or a month and something dumb
I wonder why my tongue went completely numb
Stiff and dry, so I bit it off, "Now I talk like this guy"
My mind morphed itself into a mangled muck ball
Clinging to theside of my skull
I'm trying to bash it with a hammer, fucker hiding from me
Standing right in front me, one of us gots to fall

I need some shut-eye (I just need some sleep)
Why can't I doze off? (I'm behind on sleep)
I need some shut-eye (I'm having trouble with sleepin')
Why won't I drift off? Why?
I need some shut-eye (I just need some sleep)
Why can't I doze off? (I'm behind on sleep)
I need some shut-eye (I'm having trouble with sleepin')
Why won't I drift off? Why?

Shaggy the Airhead on the beat

Am I dead? How come I don't feel pain?
I can't believe this, I've got powerful wings
And I'm flying, just like I'm in a dream
Could it, could this be what it seems?
Enter karma, casting colors so bright
I'm recharging, fill my body with life
And I'm breathing, somehow breathing bright light
I'm not burning, I'm cool and feeling just right

'Cause I'm sleeping and dreaming
I'm so colorful I'm beaming
I'm joking my mind, where we going I'm fine
Said I'm sleeping and dreaming
You should take my hand and beam in
I'm joking my mind, and it's going so fine
'Cause I'm sleeping and dreaming
I'm so colorful I'm beaming
I'm joking my mind, where we going I'm fine
Said I'm sleeping and dreaming
You should take my hand and beam in
I'm joking my mind, and it's going so fine
'Cause I'm sleeping and dreaming
I'm so colorful I'm beaming
I'm joking my mind, where we going I'm fine
Said I'm sleeping and dreaming
You should take my hand and beam in
I'm joking my mind, and it's going so fine
'Cause I'm sleeping and dreaming
I'm so colorful I'm beaming
I'm joking my mind, where we going I'm fine
Said I'm sleeping and dreaming
You should take my hand and beam in
I'm joking my mind, and it's going so fine
