Reading magazines and counting sheep to pass the time away   Hoping that tomorrow's gonna bring a smile back home again   Images of palm tree's swaying in the wind on South beach   Takes me back to better days, summer days the everglades in June      My brain, my poor brain   My brain, my poor brain      I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane   Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia      Flying high in golden skies, I'm flicking channels in my mind   Finding my utopia a different chapter in a book   Thinking back to younger days as I escape in Cooper's Break   It takes me back to '84 the future's knocking at my door      My brain, my poor brain   My brain, my poor brain      I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane   Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia   I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane   Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia      Turning off a switch inside me, leaving all the stress behind me   Flying over streams and houses, passing over the Wye Valley   It takes me back to '84 the future's knocking at my door      My brain, my poor brain      I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane   Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia   I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane   Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia   I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane   Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia
