To Get to Sleep - Sea Power

Took a pill last night, just to get to sleep

Put me on my back, not on my feet

Propylene across your eyes

To take me to the land of sighs

Had a drink last night, just to get to sleep

Put me on my back, knocked me off my feet

Filled my skin with ethylnol

To find some peace, to let it fall

Eight hours a day — call it twenty years

There’s a place you can go

Free of lust, cupidity and fear

Oh it left my heart broken

It took my breath away

A lesson open

A little more each day

A little eyesore

A little Nytol

A little heartache

A little soothe-all

Melatonin, a little dose, takes things to a peaceful close

Commerce runs through your veins

And takes you from this waking plane

Industry on your side

To do what you do, when you get tired

Eight hours a day — call it twenty years

There’s a place you can go

Free of lust, cupidity and fear

Oh it left my heart broken

It took my breath away

A little lesson open

A little more each day

A little eyesore

A little Nytol

A little heartache

A little soothe-all

A little eyesore

A little Nytol

A little heartache

A little soothe-all
