Insomnia

Yellow Magic Orchestra

Compositor: Chris J. Mosdell / Harry Haruomi Hosono / Yellow Magic Orchestra

Cage of dark
Night in the heart
Hours are days
Just passed away
Just alive beneath these caffeine eyes
Void and black
Insomniac
Night after night
No end in sight
And from wall to wall in the brain
The sweet faced angels on their paper wings
In dreams they scream instead of softly sing
Nerves that break
Just kept awake
Ready to die
With open eyes
Sleeping on the blade of an axe
Ready to crack
Insomniac
Night after night
No end in sight
Damn eternal moon you never move
An alien invader of this room
The ticking of the clock that never stops
Oh God!
