Lyrics and translation
Original
I've seen the gold rush, I've watched the river run dry.
I've fought forever in silence, like every tear in my mother's eyes.
I'll keep my mouth shut, I've walked a very thin line.
I've got the devil inside of my head, and it keeps me up at night.
Hold me close, hold me close, hold me close. It keeps me up at night.
Hold me close, hold me close, hold me close.
Oh, it keeps me up at night!
Oh, Father, help me. Oh, doctor, remedy this.
Send me the medication to help me survive a life like this.
No man's an island, but I found the only love I need.
Now that the war is over, she's there to bring me to my knees.
It keeps me up at night. Hold me close, hold me close, hold me close.
I've got the devil inside of my head, and it keeps me up at night! It keeps me up at night.
Oh, it keeps me up at night.
Oh, oh, oh.
Whoa!
I've seen the gold rush, I've watched the river run dry. I've fought forever in silence, like every tear in my mother's eyes.
I'll keep my mouth shut, I've walked a very thin line.
I've got the devil inside of my head, and it keeps me up at night.
