lyrics

Verse 1: Around and around, mind spinning on
Tossing about in my bed
Hear every sound, feel every noise,
Answer each voice in my head

Chorus 1: Tired, dead tired, sleepwaltzing again
Pacing the floor half insane
I can't drift away, close my eyes, fall asleep
Peace of mind lost the war to my brain

Verse 2: Going on five days, can't do my work
If this stretches on I will snap
The sixth day was hell, I'm only a shell
Nightmares are plaguing my nap

Chorus 2: Tired, dead tired, sleepwaltzing again
The faucet drips on the beat
My mind's in full cycle like a car on high idle
I'm praying just put me to sleep

Verse 3: The alarm always rings as I hit R.E.M.
Certain to keep me awake
Turn on the white noise, it's not clean enough
Caffeine rolls through my veins

Chorus 3: Tired, so tired, but I can't get to sleep
Give me some medicine fast
I'm scared of the dark and can't get to sleep
Don't know how long I can last

Thirty years later, the current lineup features original members Hank Hoffman and Richard Brown—now playing guitar and flute as well as sax—along with drummer Tom Smith and bassist Randy Stone. Pop meets psych freakout. ... more
