Who Needs Sleep

Post by rone rivendale »

Rone Rivendale back on the solo side of things. (oh noes!)

2 hours in on this darn song
I've never had to take this long
4 hours in and I'm just fine
It'll work out just take my time

Who needs sleep?
I sure don't!
I'm wide awake and ready to go!

6 hours in and getting tense
Can't get a beat that won't make me wince
8 hours in and I'm a mess
Got to admit this ain't my best

Who needs sleep?
I sure don't
I'm wide wake and ready to go!

Who needs sleep?
Maybe I do!
Cuz I'm a little nuts writing this for you!
From spoken word to actual singing, I can screw up any style with style. :D

Each time I think I've planned
A good use of my days
Nonsequiturs expand
To fill the empty space:

I check my Facebook page
To see if there's talk about me
Surely the internet
Will not move on without me!

The hours you spend awake
I tend to sleep them right through
But all my cares are fake:
For who needs sleep if not you?

O how I envy you!
Spring out of bed
With all your things to do:
I stay asleep instead

And how I love to see
Your smile when all's completed
You have an energy
That cannot be depleted

The hours you spend awake
I tend to sleep them right through
But all my cares are fake:
For who needs sleep if not you?

Reading, eating, sleeping, dreaming
Anything else but being
Dreaming, sleeping, dreaming
Nothing will come while I'm just waiting

In every step you take
You let your soul just shine through
I'll live my life awake
For who needs sleep if not you?

Who Needs Sleep - Paco del Stinko

Psst - Hey you, come on over here
I got something you wanna see
It'll knock you out when you can't go down
Without a doubt you'll be swimming in dreams

Who needs sleep? I'll get you some
Got it right here inside of this trunk
Step right up and step right in
And let your blissful slumber begin


Hey daddy-o, don't you be shy
Ain't nothing in here gonna hurt you none
Have a little bit and lay down by a brook
Or have some more and doze off in the sun

Who needs sleep? I'll get you some
Got it right here inside of this trunk
Step right up and step right in
And let your blissful slumber begin


Take a little - take a lot
Don't you sniffle - you can't get caught
You know you need it - just like me
Better believe it - will set you free

Where you going? You can't deny it
You need a little bit of this here every day
Go on then, and good luck to ya
You'll return before your marbles roll away

Who needs sleep? I'll get you some
Got it right here inside of this trunk
Step right up and step right in
And let your blissful slumber begin
Bringin' the stink since 2006.

Who needs sleep, well you need sleep, insomnia makes you a creep
Talking crap that you think’s deep, too dumb for even counting sheep

Who needs sleep, well I need sleep, some night relief from your dull speak,
cos’ we’re well past the witching hour so stop that bitching, don’t be sour

And if there really is a God, he’ll send you to the land of Nod, so
Want to hear a bedtime story – about how sleepless prattle bores me?

Who needs sleep, well you need sleep if only for your soul to keep
You’re no beauty, skipping sleep shows your appeal’s only skin deep

Who gets sleep, well I get sleep, your witter puts me fast asleep
We’re not playing “Touch the truck” – no benefits in staying up!

Baby, stop procrastinating ‘cos your sleepy time is waiting
Morpheus has loaned me cudgel, knock you right into tomorrow ...
