Overkill Lyrics - Man At Work - Colin Hay

I can't get to sleep 

I think about the implications 

Of diving in too deep 

And possibly the complications 

Especially at night 

I worry over situations 

I know will be alright 

Perhaps it's just imagination 

Day after day it reappears 

Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear 

Ghosts appear and fade away 

Alone between the sheets 

Only brings exasperation 

It's time to walk the streets 

Smell the desperation 

At least there's pretty lights 

And though there's little variation 

It nullifies the night from overkill 

Day after day it reappears 

Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear 

Ghosts appear and fade away 

Come back another day 

I can't get to sleep 

I think about the implications 

Of diving in too deep 

And possibly the complications 

Especially at night 

I worry over situations 

I know will be alright 

It's just overkill 

Day after day it reappears 

Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear 

Ghosts appear and fade away 

Ghosts appear and fade away 

Ghosts appear and fade away
