Stephen Bogardus - I Can't Sleep lyrics

[LADIES] Marvin's giddy seizures Marvin needs love He needs love He needs love He needs love He needs love He needs love He needs love [MARVIN] Ahhh! [LADIES] He needs love [MARVIN] I need sleep I'm a gem I'm awake And it's three A.M Drink some tea, see it's five And I'm still here alive God, I'm sick of counting rows of sheep I can't sleep Still awake [LADIES] La la la la [MARVIN] Give me peace [LADIES] La. La [MARVIN] Make them cease- [LADIES] Make them cease [MARVIN] -their abusive chatter It's romance he bewares And perchance- [LADIES] Well, who cares? [MARVIN] So I'm turning out the bedroom light It's a fight sh** [LADIES] 12 o'clock [MARVIN] Good night [LADIES] 1 o'clock [MARVIN] I'm reading [LADIES] 2 o'clock [MARVIN] I'm still awake and thinking [LADIES] What? [MARVIN] Maybe I'll be... [LADIES, louder] What? [MARVIN] Become a... [LADIES, angry] What? [MARVIN, softly] A nun [LADIES, loud] Go to sleep [MARVIN] Maybe none of the above Maybe one day... [LADIES] Maybe one day... [MARVIN] I'll win [LADIES] We love you [MARVIN] At love [WIFE] I love you [MARVIN] At love At love I can't talk [LADIES] We love you [SWEETHEART] He can't talk [MARVIN] I got phlegm [GOLDBERG] He's got phlegm [MARVIN] 'Cause of them [LADIES] La la la la [MARVIN] They abuse my reason How they fi-re my pique 'Cause my bladder is weak And they never really disappear And I'd like so much to whizz Without them there [LADIES] Look out, look out, the man's a fool Look out, the man's appealing Look out, he breaks the golden rule Look out, what's he concealing Look into Marvin's head [MARVIN] Who can rebuild The people I've k**ed In bed? [GOLDBERG] Ohhhhh... [MARVIN] I need lips I need arms I need...what? [LADIES] What? [MARVIN] I need bombs exploding It's important to win But I'm scared to begin So I chose to look before I leap And I leap I need- [LADIES] Six o'clock [MARVIN] Sleep [LADIES] Six-oh-five [MARVIN] Exhausted [LADIES] Six fifteen [MARVIN] I think perhaps I'm dreaming of... [LADIES] Maybe breasts [MARVIN] A chest [LADIES] And legs [MARVIN] And thighs... Maybe none of the above [LADIES] Let him sleep [MARVIN] And dream [LADIES] And dream [MARVIN] And win... [LADIES] We love you [MARVIN] At love [SWEETHEART] I love you [MARVIN] At love At love I'm asleep [LADIES] We love you [WIFE] Close your eyes [MARVIN] Will it keep? [LADIES] It will keep He will prize his slumber [MARVIN] I could sleep through the day If they'd just slip away [LADIES] But we reappear with every breath [MARVIN] I accept my faults And welcome sudden d**h [LADIES] Look out, look out, the man's a fool Look out, the man's appealing Look out, he breaks the golden rule Look out, what he's concealing [ALL] Look into Marvin's head [MARVIN] Who can rebuild The people I've k**ed In bed? [LADIES] Ohhh... [ALL] Give Him Sleep And... [LADIES] Give him sleep and... Give him sleep and... [ALL] Give him sleep and Love!
