Narcolepsy

[Intro: Stephan Jenkins] I'm on a train But there's no one at the helm And there's a demon in my brain Who starts to overwhelm whelm whelm whelm whelm [Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins] And there it goes My last chance for peace You lay me down But I get no release [Chorus: Stephan Jenkins] And I say I, I try to keep awake I try to swim beneath I try to keep awake But I, I can feel this narcolepsy slide Into another nightmare [Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins] And there's a demon in my head who starts to play A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday And I hold my breath till it's more than I can take And I close my eyes, I dream that I'm awake [Chorus: Stephan Jenkins] I try to keep awake I try to keep awake I try to keep awake But I, I can feel this narcolepsy slide Into another nightmare [Guitar Solo: Kevin Cadogan] [Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins] I read dead Russian authors, volumes at a time I write everything down except what's on my mind 'Cause my greatest fear is that sucking sound And then I know that I'll never get back out And there's a bone in my hand that connects to a drink In a crowded room where the glasses clink And I'll buy you a beer and we'll drink it deep Because that keeps me from falling asleep I said [Bridge: Stephan Jenkins] How'd you like to be alone and drowning How'd you like to be alone and drowning How'd you like to be alone and drowning How'd you like to be alone and drowning [Chorus: Stephan Jenkins] Still I find this narcolepsy slide, slide Into another nightmare [Outro: Stephan Jenkins] Keep awake, keep awake, keep awake I can feel this narcolepsy slide
