Overkill Lyrics by Lazlo Bane

11 Transistor

1996

[Verse 1: Chad Fischer]
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know it will be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination

[Chorus: Chad Fischer]
Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

[Verse 2: Chad Fischer]
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night
From overkill

[Chorus: Chad Fischer]
Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3: Colin Hay and Chad Fischer]
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in, too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations that I know will be alright
It's just Overkill

[Chorus: Chad Fischer and Colin Hay]
Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
