Spend my nights howlin' at the moon
Never wake before noon
When the sun, it rises
Oh, it always rises soon
'Cause I spend my nights howlin' at the moon, yeah

I never get sleep, sleep, sleep
No, I just reach, rea-, reach
I can feel it on the ends of my fingers
And taste it on the tips of my teeth
So you see why I never get sleep

(I can't get no sleep
Don't know why
I can't get no sleep
Don't know why
I can't get no sleep
Don't know why,)

Spend my night shootin' at the stars, yeah
Tryin' to change the world with this guitar
And I know it's a long shot, but it's working out so far
So I spend my nights shootin' at the stars, hey

I never get sleep, sleep, sleep
No, I just reach, rea-, reach
I can feel it on the ends of my fingers
And taste it on the tips of my teeth
So you see why I never get sleep
I can't get no sleep (never get sleep)
Don't know why
I can't get no sleep (never get sleep)
Don't know why
I can't get no sleep (never get sleep)
Don't know why
I can't get no sleep

(Count sheep)
I've already tried
(Drink whiskey)
It makes my throat too dry
(Smoke weed)
It makes my eyes all red
(Take a pill, Al)
What, and end up dead?

I can feel it on the ends of my fingers
And taste it on the tips of my teeth
So you see why I never get sleep, hey

I never get sleep, sleep, sleep
No, I just reach, rea-, reach
I can feel it on the ends of my fingers
And taste it on the tips of my teeth
So you see why I never get sleep, yeah
Yeah, you see why I never get sleep
Oh, so you see why I never get sleep
