lyrics

Dreams Won’t Let Me

My late night thoughts are tavern drunks
All talking at the same time
Laughing, crying, smoking and lying
An alcoholic nursery rhyme
Forget your powers of persuasion
They'll only drown you out
I try to tell them they’re ridiculous
But I know what they're talking about

They're pointing fingers, I'm pleading guilty
They're setting traps I can't outrun
I'm making lists, they're making wagers
That I'll never get past number one
Never get past number one

I’d like to sleep but my dreams won't let me
I’d love to shut them off for awhile
I trust Karma but afraid she'll forget me
I wanna sleep but my dreams won't let me
I wanna sleep but my dreams won't let me…they won’t let me

When I pay attention to one
Two others will start a fight
While a third one sulks in the corner
Just like every other night
They're making threats, I'm trying reason
They're getting started I say we’re done
They’re waging war I’m weighing options
If I could only choose the right one.

I’d like to sleep but my dreams won't let me
I’d love to shut them off for awhile
I trust Karma but afraid she'll forget me
I wanna sleep but my dreams won't let me
I wanna sleep but my dreams won't let me…they won’t let me be
