I've been lying here awake for an hour
I hear the drip-drip-drip-drip-dropping of the shower
I should call a plumber; did I leave that candle burning?
The neighbors rock and roll as I'm tossing and turning
They're going at it like a couple chimpanzees
I've got the after-dark affliction and the midnight disease

Still wide awake here, three hours past
I got a tummy ache and bedsprings poking at my ass
I think I double-booked the top two clients at work
Finally found the perfect comeback for that self-absorbed jerk
My mind is swinging like a rusty trapeze
I got the after-dark affliction and the midnight disease

I'd be a billionaire if I bottled this energy
Get Gilbert Gottfried to endorse it and sell it on QVC

I've been lying here awake for six hours
I think I'm being monitored by Jack Bauer
I hear the neighbors plan to kidnap the president
I'm looking for the mothership but don't know where it went
I just bought seven sets of Ginsu knives for my protection
I'll need the extra ammo when I lead the insurrection
I think I see the likeness of Jesus in my cheese
Now I'm praying to my Limburger, deliver me please
The second hand on the clock is gloating victory
I've got the after-dark affliction and the midnight disease
