It's one o clock and I can't sleep
Or at least I haven't tried
Something there is inside a man
Which cannot be denied
It's two o'clock and I can't sleep
Or at least I'm still awake
Something there is in consciousness
That slumber cannot break

There's a drunk on stage who believes in God
There's a girl with a tutu on
And a ten-year-old with hazel eyes
And a wino who you conned

It's three o'clock and I can't sleep
But I'm starting to look weak
Something there is in humankind
That fights when odds are bleak
It's four o'clock and I can't sleep
Or at least that's what I'll say
When my wife comes to wake me
I'll have lost another day

There's a best friend who has disappeared
And a car with a dented hood
Everybody said I follow you
But nobody understood

It's five o'clock and I'm asleep
But I think I'm still awake
Something there is in consciousness
That slumber cannot break
It's six o'clock and I'm not here
I'm fighting in some war
That nobody inside my head
Remembers anymore
