Sleep police

When it's after dinner 
And time for sleep 

You're the police.

You want to go out 

After dark.

But town is tomorrow's problem 

I'll deal with 

When tomorrow's sun comes up.

Sleep police 

Let me sleep,

My acrophobic wishless thinking 

Gets to me.

I'll brave the public 

Never if I never sleep.

I'll dream better 

In the light of day when I'm rested

And there's not another 

Place for me.

Sleep police,

Let me, let me be.
