about

This soporific little lullaby features Miss Modus on lead vocal

lyrics

Insomniac's Dream

Dead of night when troubles reappear
Can't let go of consciousness,
You're trying hard to sleep
Trying hard to sleep

Wishing you were somewhere out in space,
Far away from thoughtless thoughts
You're trying hard to sleep
Trying hard to sleep

Thinking how your smile can light the sky
Told you so and I know why
You find it hard to sleep

Have you got the time for a cosmic astral ride
It'll only take a minute cos the moon is parked outside
Sleep will take you under and will make you mine
Shivers more like thunder running down your spine
Pleasure is a treasure that you'll have to keep inside.

Have you got the time for a cosmic astral ride
It'll only take a minute cos the moon is parked outside
Sleep will take you under and will make you mine
Shivers more like thunder running down your spine
Pleasure is a treasure that you'll have to keep inside.

Dead of night when troubles reappear
Can't let go of consciousness,
You're trying hard to sleep
Trying hard to sleep

Wishing you were somewhere out in space,
Far away from thoughtless thoughts
You're trying hard to sleep
Trying hard to sleep
