lyrics

He waits for my guard to drop
For a blink ending half way through
To place his hands on the wheel
And pitch me into the deep green blue

I musn't sleep
Eyelids creep
My head's full of buzzing bees
The night is old
Flying solo's cold
So beat it, Sandman, please!

He tunes the radio out
All the notes seem to be the same
Where was I, where am I now?
Stick or twist in a high stakes game

I mustn't sleep...

I daren't dream
Headlights scream
My brain's feeling like Swiss cheese
The road ain't straight
Gotta concentrate
So beat it, Sandman, please!

Can't see the sides of the road
Down this tunnel in the open air
Drifting in a straight line
He's round the next bend to take me there

I mustn't sleep...

I daren't dream...
