Lyrics

I didn't get that much sleep last night

I experienced a lack of sleep last night.

Starring at the window and the cold moonlight

I spent the night looking at the window and the cold moonlight.

Tossing and a turning on the antique bed

I tossed and turned on an antique bed.

The sugar tube and Thomas making in my head

The presence of the sugar tube and Thomas is bothering my thoughts.

And I can see you a pretty good like a rock and roll killer

I can see you quite well, resembling a rock and roll killer.

And this is not the place where you should act like a tool

This is not the appropriate place for you to behave badly.


Got a little hot in the office today

The temperature rose in the office today.

The telephone rings I should throw it away

I should ignore the ringing telephone.

And even when the paper describes a wreck

Even when the newspaper reports an accident, it distorts the underlying meaning.

They manage to mangle the sub context

The context is often distorted in news reports.

And I am standing next to you, you can borrow my lighter

I am standing next to you, offering my lighter.

Like this is something that I do, sometimes I get sick

This is something I do, sometimes feeling unwell.


Please don't worry, hey, you don't worry

Please don't worry, suggesting reassurance.

I guess I'm worried, hey, don't be worried

Despite the reassurance, there is an acknowledgment of personal worry.

Let's not worry, we're not worried

Emphasizing the need to avoid worry.

About my lighter

Collectively, let's not worry about my lighter.


And then I see some things that you do ignore

Observing things that are being ignored.

But I wouldn't let 'em bother you anymore

Suggesting not to let bothersome things affect you.

And I have noticed things in this picture book

Noticing things in a picture book that don't reflect reality.

That have little to do with the way things look

Things may not be as they appear.

And I still worry 'cause that's my nature, used to sit on the porch

Expressing a persistent worry as part of one's nature.

But now I stay a little closer, I feel like a chimp

Used to sit on the porch, but now staying closer, feeling like a chimp.


Please don't worry

Repeating the plea not to worry.

I guess I'm worried, don't be worried

Despite the plea, acknowledging personal worry.

Hey you, don't be worried

Directing someone not to worry.

Let's not worry, we'll try not to worry

Collectively deciding to try not to worry about the lighter.

About my lighter

Reiterating the theme of not worrying about the lighter.


About my lighter

Continuing the emphasis on not worrying about the lighter.
