Lyrics by Colin Hay

----------------------



I can't get to sleep

I think about the implications

Of diving in too deep

And possibly the complications



Especially at night

I worry over situations

I know I'll be alright

Perhaps it's just imagination



Day after day it reappears

Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear

Ghosts appear and fade away



Alone between the sheets

Only brings exasperation

It's time to walk the streets

Smell the desperation



At least there's pretty lights

And though there's little variation

It nullifies the night from overkill



Day after day it reappears

Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear

Ghosts appear and fade away

Come back another day



I can't get to sleep

I think about the implications

Of diving in too deep

And possibly the complications



Especially at night

I worry over situations

I know I'll be alright

It's just overkill



Day after day it reappears

Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear

Ghosts appear and fade away

Ghosts appear and fade away

Ghosts appear and fade away
