Who Needs Sleep? Barenaked Ladies

[Verse 1]
Now I lay me down not to sleep
I just get tangled in the sheets
I swim in sweat three inches deep
I just lay back and claim defeat

[Verse 2]
Chapter read and lesson learned
I turned the lights off while she burned
So while she's three hundred degrees
I throw the sheets off and I freeze

[Pre-Chorus]
Lids down, I count sheep, I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep
I count down, I look around

[Chorus]
Who needs sleep? Well, you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep? Tell me, what's that for?
Who needs sleep? Be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake since the Second World War
Who needs sleep? Well, you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep? Tell me, what's that for?
Who needs sleep? Be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake since the Second World War
