Radio Paradise (mobile)

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know we'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
Come back another day
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights
And 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 diving 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

CrackerjaxATX Feb 25, 2013 - 12:51	I like this acoustic version better than the original. Maybe bc it reminds me of that excellent Scrubs episode :) [ Reply ]
misterimpatient Feb 25, 2013 - 12:50	Very nice. A welcome reinterpretation of the classic (?) [ Reply ]

Perhaps you could just listen while your hands are duct-taped to a chair, thus sparing us your inane, sometimes incomprehensible, comments. And, taking my own advice, I'm shutting up now. Ah, duct tape! Yet another great Canadian invention... and you, dear Cynaera, have just found yet another great use for it! :o) [ Reply ]
