"You Can't Go to Sleep" Lyrics

You can't go to sleep.
Sleep has got to come to you.
You can't go to sleep.
She's got to come to you.
She's a cold wind on your eyes,
She's a glacier on your mind,
She's a naïve girl
Who thinks she fell in love
For the first time.

Don't say a thing
She comes for me.
Don't say a thing.
Don't say a thing
She comes for me.

You can't go to sleep.
Gotta make her feel unwanted.
No, you can't go to sleep.
You gotta make her want it.
You can chase her 'round for hours
Adjusted eyes, bouquet of flowers,
But you'll come on too strong
And burn holes in the ceiling
With your eyes.
Oh you swear you're getting close,
Oh you're tearing off her clothes,
Well she'll spread wings
And you can't even sleep to dream to fly.

Don't say a thing
She comes for me.
Don't say a thing.
Don't say a thing
She comes for me.

Gonna make a habit
Of the medicine cabinet.
Gonna make a habit...
Oh hold down her wrists
And hold down your eyelids
And fall asleep.
