Schwa Lyrics

Rest

Lyricist: Eric Lanese
Vocalist: Eric Lanese

Helicopters overhead, keeping me from sleep
And dreams of all the folks I've known and the places I have seen
If I don't get some rest I don't know what I'm gonna do
Lying here alone nothing seems to work like it did when I was lying with you

My basement's wet, my mouth is dry, and my wallet's sprung a leak
My dog doesn't come when I call, the only trick she knows is speak
If I don't catch a break I don't know what I'm gonna do
Lying here alone nothing seems to work like it did when I was lying with you

Today I watched two old friends get into a fight
We thought if might get ugly, but you know it turned out all right
'Cause one was drunk and one was stoned, so the only thing they hit was air
Later on they were both passed out sitting in the same old chair

Helicopters overhead, keeping me from sleep 
And dreams of all the folks I've known and the places I have seen
If I don't get some rest I don't know what I'm gonna do
Lying here alone nothing seems to work like it did when I was lying with you
Lying here alone nothing seems to work like it did when I was lying with you
Lying here alone nothing seems to work like the lies that I told you
