Took a pill last night

Just to get to sleep

Put me on my back

Not on my feet

Propylene across your eyes

To take me to the land of sighs


Had a drink last night

Just to get to sleep

Put me on my back

Knocked me off my feet

Filled my skin with ethylnol

To find some peace, to let it fall


Eight hours a day - call it twenty years

There's a place you can go

Free of lust, cupidity and fear


Oh it left my heart broken

It took my breath away

A lesson open

A little more each day


A little eyesore

A little Nytol

A little heartache

A little soothe-all


Melatonin, a little dose

Takes things to a peaceful close

Commerce runs through your veins

And takes you from this waking plane

Industy on your side

To do what you do

When you get tired


Eight hours a day - call it twenty years

There's a place you can go

Free of lust, cupidity and fear


Oh it left my heart broken

It took my breath away

A little lesson open

A little more each day


A little eyesore

A little Nytol

A little heartache

A little soothe-all


A little eyesore

A little Nytol

A little heartache

A little soothe-all
