[Note: I’m not going to even attempt to transcribe the argument going on in the background of the intro. Don’t have enough time or insanity.]
I woke up from a golden dream when I heard a scream outside
I raised the blind and read the sign that said, «Know Thy God»
And I saw it was electric, with some bulbs burnt or gone
It flashed at me and I could see it spoke to no one
Something’s gone wrong here tonight
Now I woke up in a different light
Now I wish I could go back to sleep and pretend everything’s all right
Something’s gone wrong here tonight
I left the window and I stepped outside with your image in my mind
I know the way with my eyes closed
I’ve walked it so many times
Now I can’t get to sleep anymore
I know nothing lasts forever
I know some things never change
I turn the corner, see your house and even it’s not quite the same
CHORUS:
Now I can’t get to sleep anymore
Now I can’t get to sleep
I just can’t figure out what’s going on between you and me
Now I can’t get to sleep anymore
I stood on the street outside your place
I wondered if you’d be home soon
No cars in the driveway, no lights in your room
Now I can’t get to sleep anymore
I know nothing lasts forever, some things never change
I woke up from a golden dream when I heard a scream outside
I raised the blind and read the sign that said, «Know Thy God»
And I saw it was electric, with some bulbs burnt out or gone
It flashed at me and I could see it spoke to no one
[CHORUS repeated over top of:]
(Something’s gone wrong here tonight
Now I woke up in a different light
I could pretend that it’s all right
Something’s gone wrong here tonight)
Now I can’t get to sleep anymore
