Overkill Lyrics By Men At Work

    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

    and day after day it reappears
    and night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
    ghosts appear and fade away

    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

    day after day it reappears
    night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
    ghosts appear and fade away
    come back another day

    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

    and day after day it reappears
    and night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
    ghosts appear and fade away

    ghosts appear and fade away
    ghosts appear and fade away
