Yet again, I’m winding down As the stars are twinkling high I stumble toward my bedroom To bid the waking world bye-bye Just before I hit my pillow I can't even close my eyes Who lies seductive in my bed? The muse that only comes at night. Please, Muse, please… Not tonight, I beseech, But he whispers sweet Ideas to me… Suddenly wide awake (Twelve o’clock) Juices start to flow (One o’clock) I guess I’ll grab a snack? (Two o’clock) I can be tired tomorrow… And the Muse approves (fifteen) As the Muse watches me (thirty) And the Muse again, Has kept me up ‘til 3… Like a zombie all work day From that creation in twilight But convinced, I carry on I’ll get some sleep tonight! But, Sunovision, I know, That as I approach midnight The Muse waits to kiss me, “Alright, it's time to shine!” Please, Muse, please… Not tonight, I beseech, But he whispers sweet Ideas to me… Suddenly wide awake (Twelve o’clock) Juices start to flow (One o’clock) I guess I’ll grab a snack? (Two o’clock) I can be tired tomorrow… And the Muse approves (fifteen) As the Muse watches me (thirty) And the Muse again, Has kept me up ‘til 3… Why won’t you let me sleep? Just wanna count some sheep. Why can’t you let me sleep? Just wanna catch some Z’s! But, Sunovision, you’ll agree. That's the way it goes. When we try to go to sleep The Muse just seems to know. Please, Muse, please… Not tonight, I beseech, But he whispers sweet Ideas to me… Suddenly wide awake (Twelve o’clock) Juices start to flow (One o’clock) I guess I’ll grab a snack? (Two o’clock) I can be tired tomorrow… And the Muse approves (fifteen) As the Muse watches me (thirty) And the Muse again, Has kept me up ‘til 3… I guess I’ll just learn to never sleep…
