i get no sleep

Richard Marx

Got a house full of fortune and they pay me in gold
For something I'd do for free
But there's still something missing that a man can't hold
It's like a weight over me, so scared the thrill will be gone
But I'm the one who keeps the pressure on
All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone
I know I'm not alone
Well, I'm sick of walking 'round with blood in my eyes
Just keeping up with this town
I'm a roadrunner racing, but I don't see the signs
I've got to learn to slow down
My life makes it hard to complain
But there's time I'd take my school days back again
four o'clock and I'm still counting sheep
Love to change the system, but I'm in too deep
I keep the pressure far away as I can
But it still comes back again
