Sleepless Lyrics

Adrian Belew Sleepless

In the dream I fall into the sleepless sea
with a swell of panic and pain
my veins are aching for the distant reef
in the crush of emotional waves
Alright, get a hold of yourself
an' don't fight it, it's over your head
it's alright, the rumble in your ears
it's alright to feel a little fear
an' don't fight it, it's over your head
it's alright, you wake up in your bed
Silhouettes like shivering ancient feelings
they cover my foreign floors and walls
submarines are lurking in my foggy ceiling
they keep me sleepless at night
Hey, can you picture the sight
of figures on the beach in the searing night
and the roaring hurt of my silent fight
Can you pull me out of this sleepless night?
