[Intro]                 [Verse 1] I’m on a train but there’s no one at the helm And there’s a demon in my brain Who starts to overwhelm whelm whelm [Break]             [Verse 2] And there she goes my last chance for peace You lay me down but I get no release  and I say I [Chorus]    I try to keep awake    I try to swim beneath    I try to keep awake But I I can feel this narcolepsy slide N.C. Into another nightmare [Break]                 [Verse 3] And there’s a demon in my head who starts to play A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday And I hold my breath till it’s more than I can take And I close my eyes and dream that I’m awake [Chorus]      I try to keep awake      I try to keep awake      I try to keep awake but I I can feel this narcolepsy slide Into another nightmare [Break]                 [Verse 4] I read dead Russian authors volumes at a time I write everything down except what’s on my mind Cause my greatest fear is that sucking sound And then I know that I’ll never get back out [Verse 5] And there’s a bone in my hand that connects to a drink In a crowded room where the glasses clink And Ill buy you a beer and we’ll drink it deep Because that keeps me from falling asleep I said [Bridge] How’d you like to be alone and drowning How’d you like to be alone and drowning How’d you like to be alone and drowning How’d you like to be alone and drowning [Outro] Still I find this narcolepsy slide slide into another nightmare   keep awake      keep awake      keep awake    I can feel this narcolepsy slide
