The Modern Man lyrics

Why can`t I sleep, am I getting it wrong?
Stuck between the sheets, it can`t have been that long.
Staring at the ceiling, counting off days,
Smoke a few seconds past and start it all again.
Perhaps if I was face down, my hands on my ears
Why, then I could resign myself, lie comatose for years.
We all need comfort to cope with outside
But it`s been three weeks now and this bed still feels too wide
And every which way I turn,
Gives me more concern,
I just want to rant and rave all night...
It`s all too quiet tonight, too dark out here,
What am I doing outside at this time of year?
I can do anything, plenty of silence to break,
But no-one would notice man, no-one here`s awake
And every which way I turn,
Gives me more concern,
I just want to rant and rave all night...
But tomorrow`s a new day,
I won`t see it anyway,
I`ll be passed out cold at five.
And I feel trapped behind the glass,
Days become mere hours to pass
People don`t know I`m alive, tonight...
