[Verse 1]

I can't get to sleep

I think about the implications

Of diving in too deep

And possibly the complications

Especially at night

I worry over situations

I know will be all right

Perhaps it's just imagination

[Chorus]

And day after day, it reappears

And night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear

Ghosts appear and fade away

[Verse 2]

Alone between the sheets

Only brings exasperation

It's time to walk the streets

Smell the desperation

At least there's pretty lights

And though there's little variation

It nullifies the night

From overkill

[Chorus]

And day after day, it reappears

And night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear

Ghosts appear and fade away

Come back another day

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

I can't get to sleep

I think about the implications

Of diving in too deep

And possibly the complications

Especially at night

I worry over situations that

I know will be all right

It's just overkill

[Chorus]

And day after day, it reappears

And night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear

Ghosts appear and fade away

[Outro]

Ghosts appear and fade away

Ghosts appear and fade away
