Sleep when you're dead
But not in a stagnant room
with no air moving and too much gloom
Thought you'd get to bed early?
Tonight's not the night to try
But strip down and drink up
"It's cooler now" you lie
Pray for a breeze, or a touch of rain
Anything to start the dreams again
Awake for a few hours now
Tossing between pillows and sheets
Man, I'd love to get back to sleep
