Insomnia - Electric President

There’s a light bulb danglin' from string

It’s slowly swayin' up over my head now

As I jot down the words that’ll never be sung

And wait for my headache to numb

And the wind sounds as if the world’s sighin'

And the moon’s just a torn fingernail

As the TV flickers and hums by the wall

And I wait for my eyesight to fade

So, so, so

It’s so damn slow

So, so, so

It’s so damn slow

And the bright-eyed choke on ambition

And the old folks circle their graves

And the young ones are busy destroyin' their names

And you’re still just wastin' away

I sit and watch the screen for a message

Some kinda sign that says we’re OK

But the screen stays blank 'till I turn the thing off

And wait for my conscience to break

So, so, so

It’s so damn slow

So, so, so

It’s so damn slow

I hope you’re learnin' to listen

And I hope you’re learnin' to stay

And I hope you find what you’re missin'

And I hope that you’re makin' your way

But I’m a headcase if I don’t keep movin'

And my head hurts if I don’t sit still

It’s an itch that I’ll never stop scratchin'

It’s a hole that I’ll never quite fill

So

Ooo-o-oo, oo

Ooo-oo, oo

Ooo-o-oo, oo

Ooo-oo, oo
