about

This track is about how all of us musicians can't sleep because we are up super late into the night/early morning composing music and writing lyrics. This all you musicians can relate to

lyrics

I can't sleep
the steam from the percolation
makes my tea pot steep
my eyes may be closed
but yet I see
through ink on the canvas
with lines 30 deep.

A whisper in my ear from that voice
that greets me so sweetly
With love through my tender care
I excrete thee

You got me drunk again
just fantastic
Hakeem my crumpled up rejects
off the rim of the basket.

it's just another offering
a tribute to the litany
like phoenix from the ashes
Smile the epiphany


Grab the
volume
turn it up
DJ
it's not
loud enough (prechorus)
par- ty
til the sun
comes up
and early until dawn

It's one of them nights I can sleep again
but I dream again
A night I'm (chorus)
at ease
when I release again
I see clear with my voice
with this a pad and pen
and I'm at it again,
Yeah, it's just one of them nights



When the rivers flows
sometimes the tides
just carry out my boat
and the undertow
tends to leave me a little soaked

but that's more or less the sweat on my palms
that I wipe on my art smock
after I'm done sharpening my pencil
on the writers block

a clever metaphone
alegory
dot dot dot
an overture of thoughts and ink
blot blot blot

another tick tock I shake my head at the time
as I scrawl my name at the finish line
another verse Etched is in stone, hah
Can't leave the chizzle alone


Grab the
volume
turn it up
DJ
it's not
loud enough (prechorus)
par- ty
til the sun
comes up
and early until dawn


It's one of them nights I can sleep again
but I dream again
A night I'm (chorus)
at ease
when I release again
I see clear with my voice
with this a pad and pen
and I'm at it again,
Yeah, it's just one of them nights
