I’ve got a rat in a cage I feed it with hunger A voluntary su -suppression overload Until I’m seething with rage Now is it a wonder? That any given moment something will explode Can’t knock the wind out of its sails Or cut it wings and get it off my trail Insomnia This wicked insomnia The untamed desire The raving wildfire Oh, it keeps me awake It’s a destructive machine Ticking the numbers Every second builds the pressure in my head I guess you know what I mean The stress I am under What a fate to be possessed until I’m dead Can’t knock the wind out of its sails Or cut it wings and get it off my trail Insomnia This wicked insomnia The untamed desire The raving wildfire Oh, it keeps me awake And I toss And I turn Cause I can’t get sleep What I lost What I earned Was it all sincere? Am I gross? Is she hurt? Is she sad like me? Did she know? Did I learn? What I sow I reap It begins And it builds Till it makes me crack And it kills And it fills Every dream I have In my loins In my head On my heels My back In my groin On my bed Everywhere the rat/around Can’t knock the wind out of its sails Or cut it wings and get it off my trail Insomnia This wicked insomnia The untamed desire The raving wildfire Can’t knock the wind out of its sails Or cut it wings and get it off my trail Insomnia This wicked insomnia The untamed desire The raving wildfire Oh, it keeps me awake
