Narcolepsy - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I'm on a train, but there's no one at the helm

And there's a demon in my brain

Who starts to overwhelm-whelm-whelm-whelm-whelm

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

And there it goes, my last chance for peace

You lay me down, but I get no release

And I say I, I try to keep awake

I try to swim beneath

I try to keep awake, but I

I can feel this narcolepsy slide into another nightmare

And there's a demon in my head who starts to play

A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday

And I hold my breath 'til it's more than I can take

And I close my eyes, I dream that I'm awake

I try to keep awake

I try to keep awake, but I

I can feel this narcolepsy slide into another nightmare

I read dead Russian authors volumes at a time

I write everything down except what's on my mind

'Cause my greatest fear is that sucking sound

And then I know I'll never get back out

And there's a bone in my hand that connects to a drink

In a crowded room where the glasses clink

And I'll buy you a beer and we'll drink it deep

Because that keeps me from falling asleep, I said

"How'd you like to be alone and drowning?"

Still, I find this narcolepsy slide, slide

Into another nightmare

(Keep awake, keep awake, keep awake)

And I can feel this narcolepsy slide
