Aaron McMullan - Don't Think I'll Sleep Tonight lyrics

The music here depresses me, the singing's much too good Lets go dancing to some song held up by rope and stuck with gum Some song that's sung cause there's no choice, it's either that or suicide It's either clenching hold a pen or clenching hold a loaded gun I can't watch no more, these pretty girls they know his every line And genuflect as he shuts eyes and holds his breath, and pregnant pause And what the hell's he got that I can't steal and claim as mine And she leans 'gaist my ear and whispers "meet me by the broken bathroom door" And oh, don't think I'll sleep tonight, don't think I slept in weeks Just memories of some time spent holding on beneath the sheet And she there smiling up at me This ghost that came and then I came and then she dressed and smiled and left I tried to write a song for you, just couple hours ago But every note just sounded hollow, every word just limped and died And I got angry and frustrated, tore the paper, snapped the pen And it was raining, pissin, lashin, and I was sittin on the bench outside The spray-paint sign, the boarded window, letterbox nailed shut And three taps lightly on the wood and leave with pocketful of genocide I saw a man get beat to d**h here once, you'd think I'd run, but no My feet embraced the wet concrete and I just stood there as they pierced his side And oh, don't think I'll sleep tonight, had a dream this afternoon Just daydreams of the train that I would catch if I thought Maybe you'd be waitin at the end And kiss my cheek and I'd feel safe First time I met with Jesus it was here, just by the river He sat down with me for couple hours, and I drank water, he drank wine And no I don't believe he said a word, or pa**ed remark Till he pulled up his robe around him, said "We'll do this sh** again sometime" And standing by the bathroom door, the one that got kicked in I see her walk from out the shadows, see her eyes pierce from the shade And I do believe the music died some time ago, but I… I just took hold her hand regardless, and I danced with sweet Sinéad And oh, her smile can cut me deep, far deeper than I'd tell These spirits I can taste them, runnin' rings around my tongue My breath, it staggers outta me She takes my hand and says there ain't no reason for to cry Take me Take me home, to your home Your floor Let me sleep on your floor Let me hear the sound you make when you wake Hung-over and wondrin' who I am Let me explain myself to you And I'll apologise to you And then you'll smile and say "You stupid c*nt I get you every time"
