[Verse 1]
There's a certain way that I cry
When I am stuck in my head
When I think I'm gonna die
Pretty sure I'm already dead
The wind rumbles like a threat
The sky is more grey than blue
And you, you have not gone yet
But I already miss you
[Chorus]
How do you do it
How do you sleep at night
I am going to wait for you
So you better be alright
[Verse 2]
I tried to have a houseplant
I killed it within a week
Don't you know that a mere mouse can't
Hope to ever scale the peak
And I'm still waiting for Santa Claus
He has passed me by again
I'm the sober man who will give pause
When Godot commits his sin
[Chorus]
How do you do it
How do you sleep at night
I am going to wait for you
So you better be alright
[Instrumental Solo]
[Bridge]
I suppose that something had to give
There's surely better ways to live
The vultures scream "forgive, forgive"
No need to be so combative
Just watch me from behind your mask
I'm glad you understand the task
Amontillado has its cask
And I've got a question to ask:
[Chorus]
How do you do it
How do you sleep at night
I am going to wait for you
So you better be alright
[Final Chorus]
How do you do it
How do you sleep at night
I am going to wait for you
So you better be alright
(Whoo!)
