I never make a sound Fingers crossed I shut my mouth Thoughts they're creeping through my teeth Drip, drop, the night is loud Silence seems to drown me out Box my thoughts and give me some relief I wanna let you down Make you toss and turn around Won't you give me what I need I wanna let you down And I'm always lost and never found Won't you give me what I need Tick, tock, make me creep Never ending counting sheep, never get no sleep Tick, tock, make me creep Never ending counting sheep, never get no sleep Don't drop the curtains down Darkness is the whole surround My mind is lurking at my feet (At my feet) Criss, Cross, the night is sour Pupils fixed on every hour Sunrise is the only thing that's sweet I wanna let you down Make you toss and turn around Won't you give me what I need (What I need) I wanna let you down And I'm always lost and never found Won't you give me what I need Tick, tock, make me creep Never ending counting sheep, never get no sleep Tick, tock, make me creep Never ending counting sheep, never get no sleep Tick, tock, make me creep Never ending counting sheep, never get no sleep Tick, tock, make me creep Never ending counting sheep, never get no sleep
