Can I keep my eyes awake
Am I making a mistake
'Cause I fight tooth and nail
Just to hold this conscious state
I can't keep my eyes awake
Hey there sandman, I saw you grab a beer
Sure you've gotta make a living
But can't you see I've got friends here
Now find the door, think I've made myself clear
Hey there sandman, you ain't welcome here
So I sit and I drink
Try to conversate
But if this couch sinks
More than it seals my fate
My mind needs a rest
Yes I think that's true
I just hope my friends
They come around next year too
Hey there sandman, I saw you grab a beer
Sure you've gotta make a living
But can't you see I've got friends here
Now find the door, think I've made myself clear
Hey there sandman, you ain't welcome here
Now the night's wound down
And it's just us two
There's no one around
You want me and I want you
But goddamn! I've got no choice
I wish it wasn't true
My will has surely lost
And there ain't a thing that I can do
Hey there sandman, I saw you grab a beer
Sure you've gotta make a living
But can't you see I've got friends here
Now find the door, think I've made myself clear
Hey there sandman, you ain't welcome here
