Well, it's 5:00 in the morning
And I'm pacing down Harrow Road (Harrow Road, Harrow Road)
And Melatonin don't help, no matter the dose (The dose, the dose)
And insomnia, it won't let me go
Insomnia won't let me go (Won't let me go!)

Why do I have to write about you? I don't know
And why did I come to London? I don't know

(I don't know! I don't know!)

7:00 in the morning
And I'm pacing down Rainham Road (Rainham Road, Rainham Road)
Yeah, everyone sleeping while I'm creeping
I'm in a deep hole
The pharmacy low, studio is closed
And insomnia won't let me go (Won't let me go!)

Why do I have to write about you? I don't know!
Why did I come to London? I don't know

Yeah, why do I have to write about you? I don't know!
I'm unprepared and I'm getting nowhere and everybody knows
That insomnia, it won't let me go!
Insomnia won't let me go!
(Won't let me go!) Go home!
(Won't let me go!) Go home!
