Lyrics[]
Chuck E.: I can't get to sleep
I think about the implication
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat
All: Shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Chuck E.: 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
Chuck E. and Jasper: Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat
All: Shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Chuck E.: Come back another day
(Guitar solo)
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 that
I know will be alright
It's just overkill
Chuck E. and Jasper: Day after day
Chuck E.: it reappears
Chuck E. and Jasper: Night after night my heartbeat
All: Shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
