    It's a cover of the now infamous Men At Work song. . .
    Credits: Al-N, TNKS

    Story Behind the Song
    The Process:
    1) TNKS listens to the Men At Work original
    2) On the fretless bass he figures out the chords
    3) He plays this for his friend Al-N
    4) Al-N begins the recording process with a long loop of Casio keyboard drumming. . . I think we used "ROCK". . .
    5) Al-N records an overlaying bass part
    6) Later in life TNKS records three-vocal harmonies

    What We Like About This:
    1) Like Hulk Hogan's cimematic debut, NOholdsBARRED. . .
    2) The lyrics are SECRET. . .

    And then:
    1) The arrangement isn't the best. . .
    2) The recording is mastered poorly. . .
    3) TNKS never claimed to be a singer, but despite this fact, his effort is well appreciated. . .
    4) The doublaBASS works okay here. . . but another instument might CUTnPASTE into it's spot. . .
    5) No disrepect to the Casio sampler. . . but newer (dare I say breathing) alternatives exist. . .

    Lyrics
    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 will be alright
    Perahaps its just my imagination

    Day after day it reappears
    Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
    Ghosts appear and fade away

    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

    Day after day it reappears
    Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
    Ghosts appear and fade away

    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 will be alright
    It's just overkill

    Day after day it reappears
    Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
    Ghosts appear and fade away
