not Enough energy To sleep

Saturday night I barely have the energy to sleep,
it makes me so tired,
waiting wide awake for exhaustion to take over,
waiting for the alcohol to kick in,
I know I'm just barely clinging on to the edge of the cliff,
but that's what it pays these days to be a working class stiff,
in as many nights that many might say I'm rigid,
but really, I'm just a little timid.
Sunday morning and I barely have the energy to sleep,
cause I know I'm going to miss something,
that I'll deeply regret if I ever am distracted from all these petty distractions,
I'm so impatient but I haven't even begun to wait.
The bridge ahead is out as I tear down the freeway on an empty overpass,
holding my breath to await the sounds of crushing metal and breaking glass,
there will be no tires screeching cause I never intended to break,
I feel asleep in the drivers seat waiting, but I always had intended to awake.
