William Finn - Another Sleepless Night (1985) lyrics

[ALL] Another sleepless night at home in bed Another silent dawn You try to think of things you might have said You try to carry on [SWEETHEART] I wash my face Then drink beer Then I weep Say a prayer and induce Insincere self-abuse Till I'm fast asleep [GOLDBERG] I've done too much talking That was I don't listen That was I can't hear what you might say Oh, look world what I've found My eyes are grey and the world is round [MARVIN] He never stops This Whizzer Brown I need my sleep Fives times a night He'll request it; I wanna rest it (It will keep) All he wants - what he wants Is a body that won't fuss So we sleep in a bed Too big for two people It's big for two people But this bed is bigger than both of us [LADIES] Bored Bored [MARVIN] I'm feeling hot He'll close his eyes And then surprise: I'll be awake and performing He'll wanna sleep But asks for more To put up With a guy Like myself Must be a bore But he sleeps in this bed With me, a survivor I'm feeling alive-er Than I've ever felt in my life before [LADIES] Bored Bored Bored Bored Bored Bored [ALL] Another sleepless night at home in bed The sun will fly and does Another book you thought was best unread Has proved indeed it was [WIFE] I break a cup [GOLDBERG] Scan a poem [SWEETHEART] Then I eat [MARVIN] Shower up [SWEETHEART] Strike a pose [GOLDBERG] Count my feet [WIFE] Count my toes [MARVIN] Till I'm fast asleep [ALL] Fast asleep [SWEETHEART] Asleep [WIFE] No one here to kick in bed No one here to rest my head against I am so alone In the middle of the night I am so alone [SWEETHEART] I am so alone [GOLDBERG] I am so alone [WIFE] I am so alone [ALL] In the middle of the night [Music] [ALL] Night Night Night
