And I never really sleep anymore

And I always get those dangerous dreams

And I never get a minute of peace

And I gotta wonder what it means

And I gotta wonder what it means



Maybe it's nothing and I'm under the weather

Maybe it's just one of those bugs going round

Maybe I'm under a spell and it's magic

Maybe there's a witch doctor with an office in town



Is this a blessing or is it a curse?

Does it get any better? Can it get any worse?

Will it go on forever? Or is it over tonight?

Does it come with the darkness? Does it bring out the light?

Is it richer than diamonds?



Or just a little cheaper than spit?

I don't know what it is but it just won't quit

I don't know what it is but it just won't quit



And there used to be such an easy way of living

And there used to be every hope every joy

And I used to get everything that I went after

But there never used to be this boy

But there never used to be this boy



Maybe I'm crazy and I'm losing my senses

Maybe I'm possessed by a spirit or such

Maybe I'm desperate and I've got no defenses

Can you get me a prescription for that one perfect touch?



Is this a blessing or is it a curse?

Does it get any better? Can it get any worse?

Will it go on forever? Or is it over tonight?

Does it come with the darkness? Does it bring out the light?

It's a stairway to heaven or a subway going down to the pits

I don't know what it is but it just won't quit

I don't know what it is but it just won't quit



Is this a blessing or is it a curse?

Does it get any better? Can it get any worse?

Will it go on forever? Or is it over tonight?

Does it come with the darkness? Does it bring out the light?

Is it richer than diamonds?

Or just a little cheaper than spit?



I don't know what it is but it just won't quit

I don't know what it is but it just won't quit



There was a time when nothing ever really mattered

There was a time when there was nothing I didn't know

There was a time when I knew just what I was living for

There was a time and the time was long ago

There was a time and the time was so long ago

And I never really sleep anymore...
