Men at Work - Overkill

I caught an episode of Scrubs the other day in which Colin Hay appeared throughout the episode singing this song. It's always been my favorite Men at Work tune, and although the lyrics aren't necessarily elaborate, they are nonetheless very powerful...

I cant 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
Perahaps its just my imagination

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

A look between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
Its time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation

But at least theres pretty lights
Although theres 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 cant 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
Its 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
