Railroad Jerk - No Sleep

I would have got started, but I had so many setbacks
Shot down in the final round by a squadron of hacks
So many faces out in the spring-winter thaw
And all the white girls singing sha la la la la la la la la la

A river of stars flowing overhead tonight
Fish are jumping in the riverbed as I blow out the light
I left a mental note on the path that I chose
The milk carton photograph, it was overexposed

Rats in the front room, rats in the hall
I'm on the floor, boys, climbing the walls
Talk about loving, talk can be cheap
She's there making love in the next room, I can't get no sleep

I want to travel across this land with a pack, man, and a mule
I want to see the Erie Canal 'cause I think it would be cool
Skeptical people tell me no one is innocent
They say "ladies and gentlemen, we're approaching our descent"
Music in back growing louder and louder
Couldn't put my finger on it, something about her
Oh!

Rats in the front room, rats at the mall
I'm on the floor, boys, climbing the walls
Look at this hand, man, read 'em and weep
She's there making love in the next room, I can't get no sleep!
Rats in the front room, down at the mall
They're everywhere and I'm climbing the walls
Some kind of logic, one giant leap
I hear her making love in the next room, I can't get no sleep
At all!
