I Couldn't Get to Sleep Last Night
 

Written & Sung: Espionage; Guitar: L. Buckingham

 I thought I heard you speaking way out of time You must transmit along a different line If you could break down and give me a cosine Then I'd say "Live and let live" again Investigation is a serious crime Communication at the drop of a dime is fine What does it take to find you some piece of mind When it goes 'round and 'round all night long? My eyes are open but there's no one in sight Insomnia is not a nice place to hide away No, I couldn't get to sleep last night Though I closed my eyes and held them tight No, I couldn't get to sleep at all Three a.m. it's me again, up the wall No, I couldn't get to sleep last night No, I couldn't even if I tried And I don't know where my head has gone Running 'round and 'round again The curtain opens and the people applaud The stage is crumbling and the actors are bored Night after night I play, I go through, I score And I know the ending anyway Their fingers point at me, their faces mocking Their friends all love it and they wait for their sting Information is a dangerous thing In the hands of either one of us My mind has switched itself into overdrive Another night of neither dead or alive again No, I couldn't get to sleep last night Though I closed my eyes and held them tight No, I couldn't get to sleep at all Three a.m. it's me again, up the wall No, I couldn't get to sleep last night No, I couldn't even if I tried And I don't know where my head has gone Running 'round and 'round again Running 'round and 'round again No, I couldn't get to sleep last night Though I closed my eyes and held them tight No, I couldn't get to sleep at all Three a.m. it's me again, up the wall No, I couldn't get to sleep last night No, I couldn't even if I tried And I don't know where my head has gone Running 'round and 'round again No, I couldn't get to sleep last night Though I closed my eyes and held them tight No, I couldn't get to sleep at all Three a.m. it's me again, up the wall No, I couldn't get to sleep last night No, I couldn't even if I tried No, I couldn't get to sleep at all...

 


WEBMISTRESS speculates:

While I am not a fan of Espionage, this song is tolerable. As an insomniac I can relate! Yeah, it's the highlight of the album. But that's not saying much.
