In the Arms of Sleep

Another night of failed sleep. I've never really been one to sleep all that well so I guess it shouldn't bother me as much. Think I'll start freaking out properly when I start seeing little bald doctors.

Todays tune is another one from The Smashing Pumpkins, "In the Arms of Sleep". In this case I'm seeing Sleep itself as being call upon much like one might call upon an ex-lover.

Sleep and me haven't seen much of each other of late...

sleep will not come to this tired body now
peace will not come to this lonely heart
there are some things i'll live without
but i want you to know that i need you right now
i need you tonite
i steal a kiss from her sleeping shadow moves
cause i'll always miss her wherever she goes
and i'll always need her more than she could ever need me
i need someone to ease my mind
but sometimes a someone is so hard to find
and i'll do anything to keep her here tonite
and i'll say anything to make her feel alright
and i'll be anything to keep her here tonite
cause i want you to stay, with me
i need you tonite
she comes to me like an angel out of time
as i play the part of a saint on my knees
there are some things i'll live without
but i want you to know that i need you right now
suffer my desire
suffer my desire
suffer my desire for you

I need you right now.
