Insomniac lyrics

I think you ought to know
I think we've lost control dear
Whatever turned you on
You put it up your nose dear

And though the feeling was sublime
I think we're running out of time
'Cause when you found it, you'd fix it
Then lose it and then you'd go

Will you be long, will you be long dear
Will you be long, I'm waiting
No sleep at all, carry me home
No sleep at all, carry me home
Won't you take me there

I serenade the walls
Young people have it all dear
And surely life is a gas
We never had it bad dear

Oh was it pointless from the start
Or did we cultivate the arts
I swim in circles, in puddles, in trouble and then I go
Will I be long, will I be long dear
Will I be strong, you're waiting

No sleep at all, carry me home
No sleep at all, carry me home
Won't you take me here
I don't feel good inside, I don't feel good inside
My darling don't you cry, home, home

No sleep at all, carry me home
No sleep at all, carry me home
Won't you, won't you home home, won't you take me there
I'm ready home, home, won't you take me there

I'm willing home, home, won't you take me there
I want you home, home, won't you take me there

Video

ECHOBELLY "Insomniac": Scratchy film projections, a red dress, a blonde wig, a union jack t-shirt....all good ways to make a simple performance video memorable. One of the earliest GobTV vids...sorry about the rough version, it's nth generation copy. (video from YouTube)
