[Intro] [Male Vocal, bright and certain] The moon is doing moon things My pajamas have been found But I have several questions And I need to walk around [Verse 1] [Male Vocal] Dad says that my eyes are heavy He says that it is getting late I respect his observation But I have a case to state There are blocks that need a tower There are books that need a look If the ending was important They would not close up the book [Pre-Chorus] [Male Vocal, building with polite urgency] I am calm and I am cozy I am standing by the bed But a thought has just arrived here And it landed in my head [Chorus] [Male Vocal with sunny harmonies] I am not tired I am not tired I am only lying down With my eyes a little wired If my blanket makes a mountain I must climb it as required Please record my formal statement I am not tired [Verse 2] [Male Vocal] I have had a sip of water I have brushed each little tooth Still I feel it would be useful To establish one more truth There are shadows on the ceiling That are shaped a bit like hats And the hallway has a whisper That is probably not cats [Pre-Chorus] [Male Vocal, earnest and quick] I can hear my father talking In his quiet kitchen way If the day is truly over Why does he still have a day? [Chorus] [Male Vocal with sunny harmonies] I am not tired I am not tired I am simply in my bed Being carefully inspired If my stuffed giraffe is crooked Then its posture must be rewired This is not a sleepy problem I am not tired [Bridge] [Male Vocal, half-sung and confidential] I may blink a little slowly That does not amount to sleep I am checking both my eyelids For the promises they keep One is closing for inspection One is closing out of pride If they both close at the same time That is just research inside [Final Chorus] [Male Vocal with layered sunshine harmonies] I am not tired I am not tired I am only getting quiet As the room has conspired If my dreams begin without me They will have to be rehired Please inform the morning people I am not tired [Outro] [Male Vocal, fading and drowsy] The moon is doing moon things My pajamas have been found And I will keep explaining When I finish lying down
