Electric President - Insomnia
There’s a light bulb dangling from string
It’s slowly swaying up over my head now
As I jot down the words that’ll never be sung
And wait for my headache to numb
And the wind sounds as if the world’s sighing
And the moon’s just a torn fingernail
As the TV flickers and hums by the wall
And I wait for my eyesight to fade
…
I hope you’re learning to listen
And I hope you’re learning to stay
And I hope you find what you’re missing
And I hope that you’re making you’re way
I’m a headcase if I don’t keep moving
And my head hurts if I don’t sit still
It’s an itch that I’ll never stop scratching
It’s a hole that I’ll never quite fill
So
Definitely one of my favorite songs. The lyrics are fantastic, I love the melody, and the electronic effects are very well done. This song sends chills down my spine every time I listen to it.
About Me
I have sat around campfires, singing songs late into the night. I have hiked through subfreezing blizzards. I have skied many double black diamonds and slid down one on my chest. I have seen glaciers calve into the ocean. I have explored hidden valleys and secret caves. I have used ice tools and crampons to climb out of a moulin. I have watched a jökulhlaup.I have been the captain of a space shuttle, and I have directed one from Mission Control. I have gazed upon nebulae, and I have seen the moons of Jupiter. I have written stories and poems. I have searched ghost towns and abandoned fortresses for their lost legends.
