Overkill by Men At Work

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of divin' in too deep
And possibly, the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know I'll be alright
Perhaps, it's just imagination

Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

Alone, between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation

At least there's pretty lights
Though there's little variation
It nullifies the night
From overkill

Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of divin' in too deep
And possibly, the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
That I know will be alright
It's just overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
