sleep tight

how can you sleep tight?
knowing what you did last night?
knowing that you're fighting a losing fight?
how can you sleep tight?
how can you sleep at all
let alone sleep tight?

how can you say good night?
close your eyes and turn out the light?
unleash your bark and take a bite
then act like everything's all right?
how can you say good night?
how can you sleep at all
let alone sleep tight?

you can say what you like
insomnia strikes when you're alone
you can do what you want
till nightmares come haunting your very home

how can you sleep tight?
how can you crush the truth with all your might?
how can you push your feelings aside
and whistle your way through life? (whistle solo)
you don't even think twice
how can you sleep at all
let alone sleep tight?

you can say what you like
insomnia strikes when you're alone
you can do what you want
till nightmares come haunting your very home

how can you sleep tight?
knowing you're a bird who can't take flight?
knowing that you've traded respect for spite?
how can you sleep tight?
how can you sleep at all
let alone sleep tight?

end.
