Sleepless Nights,

City Lights,

Keep me awake,

But don’t let me choose the sleeping pill to take.

Sleepless Nights,

City Lights,

Cloud my mind,

Render me blind.

Sleepless Nights,

City Lights,

Invade my thoughts,

Never let me connect the dots.

Sleepless Nights,

City Lights,

Never let me go,

Never let me recall what I owe.

Sleepless Nights,

City Lights,

I’m afraid of the dark,

But I never want to see a spark.

Sleepless Nights,

City Lights,

Shut my mouth,

Or else my luck will fly south.

Sleepless Nights,

City Lights,

Strip me bare,

Keep me aware.

Sleepless Nights,

City Lights,

Why am I alone,

So unknown?

Sleepless Nights,

City Lights,

You’re everywhere and always,

The only thing I can bear in this haze.
