God! I found hell in a college town;
at least it felt like hell to me,
so when I die at least I know I'll be
somewhere sleepless in the university.
"Sleepless in Cincinnati"
is what they'd call me,
but no one's calling to bail me out.
It's clear that you don't want me around,
but at least I'll know that I won't be alone.
Yeah, at last I'll know I've finally found
a home and a place to be,
so I'll walk straight, keep my head up,
fake a smile, talk to myself,
and never wake up from this nightmare
that most would call a dream.
I'll do my time, what's expected,
and make sure I'm not a disappointment.
I'll play into this scheme
if it makes you happy,
but you'd collapse if you knew
what I'm doing and where I've been,
in the kingdom of all man's "sin."
Hell, I found "god" fleeing the scene.
I think he doesn't want to be
the one to bear the bad news to me,
so I'll just resume my daily routine.
Yeah, that's what I'll do.
Yeah, that's where I'll be
permanently.
