Narcolepsy Songtext
von Third Eye Blind

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

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
Till it's more than I can take and
I close my eyes and dream that I′m awake


I try to keep 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 wrote everything down except what′s on my mind
'Cause my greatest fear is the sucking sound
And then I know I 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?
How′d you like to be alone and drowning?
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
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
