Another track about madness and death, fitting in the theme of Iron Maiden’s sophomore album. This one has only one verse, with three repetitions. The narrator hears voices in his head and is contemplating suicide.
[Drum Intro]
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
As I lay here lying on my bed
Sweet voices come into my head
Oh, what it is, I want to know
Please, won't you tell me? It's got to go
There's a feeling that's inside me
Telling me to get away, yeah
But I'm so tired of living
I might as well end today
[Chorus]
As I lay here lying on my bed
Sweet voices come into my head
Oh, what it is, I want to know
Please, won't you tell me? It's got to go
There's a feeling that's inside me
Telling me to get away, yeah
But I'm so tired of living
I might as well end today
[Instrumental Break 01:35-02:29]
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
As I lay here lying on my bed
Sweet voices come into my head
Oh, what it is, I want to know
Please, won't you tell me? It's got to go
There's a feeling that's inside me
Telling me to get away, yeah
But I'm so tired of living
I might as well end today
