This guy wakes up in the middle of the night.

lyrics

Can’t Get Back To Sleep

San Francisco fog coming over the hills
Back Door man gives the women a chill
Strawberry wine an apple cider drink
Foot long hotdog hair balls in the sink
Muscle man flexing gave away his change
People with signs coming off the freeway lane
Best to change the subject and look at pretty skies
Sunshine fresh air tasting apple pies

Million-dollar project tearing up the roads
Pharmacy driver dropping off a load
Cop car siren looking into your mirror
Woman is crying face full of tears
Please have some ice cream and make a smiley face
Get yourself a haircut go floating into space
Give that man a band-aid he is bleeding on the floor
Lock the windows and lock the doors

Your brand new t-shirt is a perfect fit
I am taking you for ice cream big banana split
We can have romance on this sunny day
I will not bring up zombies or the boogey man today
I still want to kiss you but please wipe your face
You got some chocolate remains I can see some trace
Stop into the bathroom get a cold splash
You can toss the paper towels in their provided trash

Chorus
I missed the mark when delivering these lines
I could work harder and make up better rhymes
But it's 4 in the morning I should still be asleep
Dreaming of something but I can't get back to sleep

There's my favorite spider still in the corner wall
It doesn't bother me, at all
She took my broom and shove it into death
She don't like spiders and think they are pests
I could get a bite and I know she's right
Best my friendly spider to stay out of sight
I think it was a black widow too
A red hour glass looked like a tattoo

Bridge
Kangaroos and elephants, Mrs. Jones
High School principal talking on the phone
He's a trouble maker, not my kid
The truth of the matter is he is guilty what he did
Smoking in the bathroom is not allowed in school

No bed bugs no cudies in my bed
She checked all my sheets and then she read
A romance novel reading is fine
But I got a feeling that you're going to be mine
Your not sleepy don't try to close your eyes
I can see you smiling beneath that sigh
It's only love and that is all
I had it my way and she ended up balled
