[Verse 1] Oh, I've got gadgets that could put a spy to shame, Melatonin dreams, yet I'm wide awake. Zen apps to chill, sleep gas in the air, A secret ninja move from who knows where. But when the lights go down and the night gets deep, All these high-tech toys don't bring the sleep. [Chorus] Because I can't drift away, can't catch those Z's, Unless I've run a marathon or swung from the trees. No pill or trick or gadget on my shelf, Can knock me out; I've got to move myself. So I'm lacing up while the world's in bed, Running circles 'round my sleepless dread. [Verse 2] Digital curfews set on every screen, My smartwatch shocks if I'm not serene. TV, stereo, lights out at eight, Yet here I am, wide-eyed, feeling great. Vagus nerve, stay calm, don't you fuss, I'm just gearing up for my nightly bus. [Chorus] Because I can't drift away, can't catch those Z's, Unless I've run a marathon or swung from the trees. No pill or trick or gadget on my shelf, Can knock me out; I've got to move myself. So I'm hitting the gym while the moon's agleam, Chasing sleep like it's a fleeting dream. [Bridge] Tried every trick from A to Zen, Each gadget and gizmo again and again. But when push comes to shove and I'm feeling alive, Only sweat and toil make my slumber arrive. [Chorus] Because I can't drift away, can't catch those Z's, Unless I've run a marathon or swung from the trees. No pill or trick or gadget on my shelf, Can knock me out; I've got to move myself. Midnight's for the restless, the movers, the shakers, We're the nocturnal few, the sleepless undertakers. [Outro] So if you see me jogging by starlight's gleam, Wish me goodnight, and sweet dreams.
