Jack Levine - Occasional Insomniac Lyrics

How many colors do you see
When you look at me
Now how many do you see
When i'm gone
And what is there to fear
When you are standing oh so near
To your heart in a glass box
On the wall

And you put her on display
For the world to see
Standing two feet away
To observe
As she beats and she beats
Sending blood to your feet
So you can walk away from the world

But honey you've got whiskey in your blood tonight

So sleep away the hurt in your heart
Don't worry about your lips
They'll forget soon enough
And waste away the day in the dark
Finding peace in your head
Cause you've messed with your head
So honey rest

Now go to your room
And set books on fire
Fahrenheit 452
Burn up the pictures
That hang on your wall
Might as well torch your yearbook too

And take out your
Year old cigarettes
Get out your honey too
I'll sing you a song
Darling don't sing along
Cause I really don't want you to

And put out your lights

So sleep away the hurt in your heart
Don't worry about your lips
They'll forget soon enough
And waste away the day in the dark
Finding peace in your head
Cause you've messed with your head
I know
You're tired of living alone
I know
You're sleeping with your telephone
In your hand
Waiting for him to call and say honey

So sleep away the hurt in your heart
And waste away your day in the dark

So sleep away the hurt in your heart
Don't worry about your lips
They'll forget soon enough
And waste away the day in the dark
Finding peace in your head
Cause you've messed with your head
So honey rest
