I Can’t Sleep

[LADIES]
Marvin's giddy seizures
Marvin needs love
He needs love
He needs love
He needs love
He needs love
He needs love
He needs love

[MARVIN]
Ahhh!

[LADIES]
He needs love

[MARVIN]
I need sleep
I'm a gem
I'm awake
And it's three A.M
Drink some tea, see it's five
And I'm still here alive
God, I'm sick of counting rows of sheep
I can't sleep

Still awake

[LADIES]
La la la la

[MARVIN]
Give me peace

[LADIES]
La. La

[MARVIN]
Make them cease-

[LADIES]
Make them cease

[MARVIN]
-their abusive chatter
It's romance he bewares
And perchance-

[LADIES]
Well, who cares?

[MARVIN]
So I'm turning out the bedroom light
It's a fight
Shit

[LADIES]
12 o'clock

[MARVIN]
Good night

[LADIES]
1 o'clock

[MARVIN]
I'm reading

[LADIES]
2 o'clock

[MARVIN]
I'm still awake and thinking

[LADIES]
What?

[MARVIN]
Maybe I'll be...

[LADIES, louder]
What?

[MARVIN]
Become a...

[LADIES, angry]
What?

[MARVIN, softly]
A nun

[LADIES, loud]
Go to sleep

[MARVIN]
Maybe none of the above
Maybe one day...

[LADIES]
Maybe one day...

[MARVIN]
I'll win

[LADIES]
We love you

[MARVIN]
At love

[WIFE]
I love you

[MARVIN]
At love
At love

I can't talk

[LADIES]
We love you
[SWEETHEART]
He can't talk

[MARVIN]
I got phlegm

[GOLDBERG]
He's got phlegm

[MARVIN]
'Cause of them

[LADIES]
La la la la

[MARVIN]
They abuse my reason
How they fi-re my pique
'Cause my bladder is weak
And they never really disappear
And I'd like so much to whizz
Without them there

[LADIES]
Look out, look out, the man's a fool
Look out, the man's appealing
Look out, he breaks the golden rule
Look out, what's he concealing

Look into Marvin's head

[MARVIN]
Who can rebuild
The people I've killed
In bed?

[GOLDBERG]
Ohhhhh...

[MARVIN]
I need lips
I need arms
I need...what?

[LADIES]
What?

[MARVIN]
I need bombs exploding
It's important to win
But I'm scared to begin
So I chose to look before I leap
And I leap

I need-

[LADIES]
Six o'clock

[MARVIN]
Sleep

[LADIES]
Six-oh-five

[MARVIN]
Exhausted

[LADIES]
Six fifteen

[MARVIN]
I think perhaps I'm dreaming of...

[LADIES]
Maybe breasts

[MARVIN]
A chest

[LADIES]
And legs

[MARVIN]
And thighs...

Maybe none of the above

[LADIES]
Let him sleep

[MARVIN]
And dream

[LADIES]
And dream

[MARVIN]
And win...

[LADIES]
We love you

[MARVIN]
At love

[SWEETHEART]
I love you

[MARVIN]
At love
At love

I'm asleep

[LADIES]
We love you
[WIFE]
Close your eyes

[MARVIN]
Will it keep?

[LADIES]
It will keep
He will prize his slumber

[MARVIN]
I could sleep through the day
If they'd just slip away

[LADIES]
But we reappear with every breath

[MARVIN]
I accept my faults
And welcome sudden death

[LADIES]
Look out, look out, the man's a fool
Look out, the man's appealing
Look out, he breaks the golden rule
Look out, what he's concealing

[ALL]
Look into Marvin's head

[MARVIN]
Who can rebuild
The people I've killed
In bed?

[LADIES]
Ohhh...

[ALL]
Give
Him
Sleep
And...

[LADIES]
Give him sleep and...
Give him sleep and...

[ALL]
Give him sleep and
Love!
