lyrics

Nighty Night!-- danielle savage- written mostly on Sept. 12, Point la Nimb, N.B., & one day in march 2011

Sleep deprivation, is plaguing humanity, jacked up on stimulants, and vanity.
They can't bear to miss a second, for fear that they might come in second best- they can't sleep a wink.

Insomnia won't loosen up it's grip. Effectiveness is-oh, abandoning ship. To gain more hours and fill your time, it's quid pro quo you sell your clarity of mind- they can't sleep a wink.

*(Chorus)
And they don't have no mental energy left for nothing intellectual 'cos it's taken up at work. And when they finally get home to get some much needed rest, oh-oh they can't, they are too stressed.*


Sleep deprivation, is degrading families. Can't stop their bickering, for they haven't slept a wink. They can't bear to miss a second, and now they can't bear most anything, 'cos ooh, they're in over their heads.

Coping skills have steadily declined. And if you look for a reason I'm sure you will find, that getting horizontal will heal you of the mental confusion you can't get rid of, oooh, go back to bed.

*(Chorus)*

<Instrumental 1 verse>

It's true they've got a fear of idle hands. They're worried 'bout letting their negotiations stand. But the paradox about this obsession is it robs you of your foresight and not to mention, the endurance to see it through.

*(Chorus)*

*(Slow-Chorus 2)
Nighty night, and the sleep fairy kissed your cheek. May you drift off right through to the moorn', and not even stir a peep, that the sandman may come and leave a gift(ey) in your eyes, oh, oh, ohhh, nighty night. Nighty night. Nighty night.

(story)

(fast verse)Wake up! wake up! wake up you goon! You fell asleep! You can't do that in public, you fool, you look like a creep! If you can't get ahold of yourself and deprive your body like the rest of us, oooh, you don't wanna find out what will happen!
