Counting Sheep

I don't need a little more patience
I just crave change
Spent three nights lost in the sofa
Watching the colors fade

I'll count the ceiling tiles
And (restless) I'll sleep on the floor meanwhile and
I rinse just to repeat
I (restless) have my thoughts to eat
Another lullabye and
Another day goes by and
I'm wasting all my time
And (restless) I don't even have to try

Left the big light on again, (don't pretend)
Get up if I can count to ten, (I can't keep from keeping still)
Electric hum, I hum along
And thumb the ceiling
Can we go camping in the basement (fight off more fits of colors)
With the curtains drawn, (crawl back under the covers)
Ignore the lawn
For the mothballs and the dustmites
And their children

I'll count the ceiling tiles
And (restless) I'll sleep on the floor meanwhile and
I rinse just to repeat
I (restless) have my thoughts to eat
Another lullabye and
Another day goes by and
I'm wasting all my time
And (restless) I don't even have to try

I'm writing postcards to my friends
I'm staying here until December ends
I'm writing postcards to my friends
I'm staying here until December ends
All I need is some water and heat
And some color in my cheeks

Let me sleep
Counting sheep
Let me sleep
Pulling teeth
And counting sheep
Counting sheep
