3am fully awake
in my head all still is buzzing
waiting for the sleep to come
no way my friend I'm not even dosing
Every tune I ever heard wants to settle in my brain
I do my best to keep them out
talk about a lost cause
Insomnia is locked in all of our eyes and we smile, we
smile
music is gasoline so we accelerate
We're living our lives at ninety miles an hour, an hour
we're back where we belong, so we celebrate, celebrate
I'm lying waisted on my ass
walked a hundred miles to see Foo Fighters and
Supergrass
but they'd all started without me
Six Flags circling on the hill
Hey there goes Paulie with a friend
Soul Coughing in the other tent
I think it's time to join them
Insomnia is locked in all of our eyes and we smile, we
smile
the music is gasoline so we accelerate
We're living our lives at ninety miles an hour, an hour
we're back where we belong, so we celebrate
I say we celebrate, we just celebrate
Little day-glow pieces off
all my thoughts are in the daytime
there are much more than enough
feel my shut eyed as they shine
Try to see things positive
cause if I would have been asleep now
I would never ever have written all these words down
Insomnia is locked in all of our eyes and we smile, we
smile
music is gasoline so we accelerate
We're living our lives at ninety miles an hour, an hour
we're back where we belong - so we celebrate
