Lyrics

And I never really sleep anymore
And I always get those dangerous dreams
And I never get a minute of peace
And I gotta wonder what it means
And I gotta wonder what it means
Maybe it's nothing
And I'm under the weather
Maybe it's just one of those bugs
Maybe I'm under
A spell and it's magic
Maybe there's a witch doctor
With an office in town
Oh, is this a blessing?
Or is it a curse?
Does it get any better?
Can it get any worse?
Will it go on forever?
Is it over tonight?
Does it come with the darkness?
Does it bring out the light?
Is it richer than diamonds?
Or just a little cheaper than spit?
Ooh, I don't know what it is
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
And there used to be such an easy way of living
And there used to be every hope in the world
And I used to get everything that I went after
But there never used to be this girl
No, there never used to be this girl
Maybe I'm crazy
And I'm losing my senses
Maybe I'm possessed by a spirit or such
Maybe I'm desperate
And I've got no defenses
Can you get me a perscription
For that one perfect touch?
Oh, is this a blessing?
Or is it a curse?
Does it get any better?
Can it get any worse?
Will it go on forever?
Is it over tonight?
Does it come with the darkness?
Does it bring out the light?
It's a stairway to heaven
Or a subway going down to the pits
Ooh, is it some kind of love?
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
Oh, is this a blessing?
Or is it a curse?
Does it get any better?
Can it get any worse?
Will it go on forever?
Is it over tonight?
Does it come with the darkness?
Does it bring out the light?
Is it richer than diamonds?
Or just a little cheaper than spit?
Ooh, I don't know what it is
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
(Ooh, I don't know what it is)
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
(Ooh, I don't know what it is)
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
(Ooh, I don't know what it is)
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
(Ooh, I don't know what it is)
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
There was a time
When nothing ever really mattered
There was a time
When there was nothing I didn't know
There was a time
When I knew just what I was living for
There was a time
And the time was so long ago
There was a time
And the time was so long ago
And I never really sleep anymore
