Fretblanket - The Modern Man Lyrics
Why can't I sleep, am I getting it wrong?Stuck between the sheets, it can't have been that long.Staring at the ceiling, counting off days,Smoke a few seconds past and start it all again.Perhaps if I was face down, my hands on my earsWhy, then I could resign myself, lie comatose for years.We all need comfort to cope with outsideBut it's been three weeks now and this bed still feels too wideAnd every which way I turn,Gives me more concern,I just want to rant and rave all night...It's all too quiet tonight, too dark out here,What am I doing outside at this time of year?I can do anything, plenty of silence to break,But no-one would notice man, no-one here's awakeAnd every which way I turn,Gives me more concern,I just want to rant and rave all night...But tomorrow's a new day,I won't see it anyway,I'll be passed out cold at five.And I feel trapped behind the glass,Days become mere hours to passPeople don't know I'm alive, tonight...
