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
