Sleep Is On My Mind

My brain’s keeping me awake 

Too many thoughts I’ve to partake 

Making me wonder if it will 

Ever just shut itself down 

From its attempts to astound  

I don’t know what is in store 

I know I need to sleep some more 

It’s always good to get some rest 

Helps me to be at my best 

Instead of feeling confound 

Think about some minor things 

Like why Saturn has all its rings 

A question no one is aware 

Does it even have a spare 

Out there just hanging around 

Sleep is on my mind

Too many thoughts in my head

Keeping me awake instead

Alarms go off and I feel so tired

Always stuck in a mire

Get to work it goes bad

I feel I’m being had

Head back home get into bed

I’d rather be here instead

Sleep is on my mind

I fall asleep at odd hours 

I am a slave to its powers 

Once I took a nap on a train 

Somehow I ended up in Spain 

 No cure for a lack of sleep 

Sleep is on my mind
