some say i´m ill
sick as a parrot, bone-chilled
how does my face look today?
don a smart cane in a dandy way
my head is full
i cannot think
slip downstairs for a secret lemonade drink
lemonade drink

sleep cures everything
sleep cures, if it´s deep enough
sleep cures everything but insomnia
insomnia

money - a modern factor
a quick rub down or a chiropractor
i kid you, you kid me
take a close look at the family tree
sex dreams, nightmares
wake me up to the fact that nobody cares
nobody cares

chorus

i go out like a light
clutch the heart of the night
i go out like a light
clutch the heart of the night

yoga turns, watering plants
even a flapping limb dance
anything but the job in hand
gotta lift my head clean out of the sand
out of the sand
