--- Start Of Overkill By Colin Hay ---
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
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
BREAK
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 we'll be alright ... 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
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
