The Maccabees - Sleepless George lyrics
[The Maccabees - Sleepless George lyrics]
My friend George hasn't slept for five years
Fatigue set in after three days
Then the tears dried up and the
Muscles in his eyelids tore
The dreams collated and congealed at the back
Of his head then exploded into reality
His bed was fed up after
6 months and folded away
And moved in with a family down the road
Soon day became night, became day
Became night and he wrotе a 20
000 word thesis on sleep deprivation
10, 000 really’s, and 10
000 tirеd's one after the other
Mimicking the sheep that jumped from one side
Of his brain to the other
He became in sync with the
Moving of the stars and
The planets and his heart would
Beat once at sunrise
And once as the sun set
And his blood courses round him like
The tide rising and falling
He earns good money now
As a statue impersonator
And can be seen slouched
Against many London monuments
He is a slouch sell-out and
He is really awfully tired
Fatigue set in after three days
Then the tears dried up and the
Muscles in his eyelids tore
The dreams collated and congealed at the back
Of his head then exploded into reality
His bed was fed up after
6 months and folded away
And moved in with a family down the road
Soon day became night, became day
Became night and he wrotе a 20
000 word thesis on sleep deprivation
10, 000 really’s, and 10
000 tirеd's one after the other
Mimicking the sheep that jumped from one side
Of his brain to the other
He became in sync with the
Moving of the stars and
The planets and his heart would
Beat once at sunrise
And once as the sun set
And his blood courses round him like
The tide rising and falling
He earns good money now
As a statue impersonator
And can be seen slouched
Against many London monuments
He is a slouch sell-out and
He is really awfully tired
