Who Needs Sleep - Barenaked Ladies

Now I lay me down not to sleep. 
I just get tangled in the sheets. 
I swim in sweat 3 inches deep 
Just lay back and claim defeat 
Chapter read and lesson learned. 
Turn the lights off while she burns. 
So while she's 300 degrees, 
I throw the sheets off and I freeze. 
Chorus: 
Lids down, I count sheep 
I count heart beats. 
The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep 
I countdown, I look around 
Who needs sleep?? 
Well you're never gonna get it. 
Who needs sleep?? 
Tell me, what's that for? 
Who needs sleep?? 
You're happy wiith what you get and there's a guy that's been awake 
since the 2nd world war. 
Who needs sleep?? 
Well you're never gonna get it. 
Who needs sleep?? 
Tell me, what's that for? 
Who need sleep?? 
You happy with what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since 
the 2nd world war. 
My hands are locked up tight in fists 
My mind is racing, filled with lists 
of things to do and things I've done 
Another sleepless night's begun. 
(Chorus) 
So much joy in life and so many pleasures all around 
but the pleasure of insomnia is one I'd never found. 
With all life has to offer, there's so much to be enjoyed 
but the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can't avoid. 
Lids down, I count sheep 
I count heart beats. 
The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep 
I countdown, I look around 
Halla halla halla 
Who needs sleep?? 
Well you're never gonna get it. 
Who needs sleep?? 
Tell me, what's that for? 
Who need sleep?? 
You hafta use what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since 
the 
2nd world war 
Who needs sleep?? 
Well you're never gonna get it. 
Who needs sleep?? 
Tell me, what's that for? 
Who need sleep?? 
You hafta use what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since 
the 
2nd world war
