Intro: F# F C# A#
F# F C# G#F# C#
I can't get to sleep
E B
I think about the implications
F# C#
Of diving in too deep
E B
And possibly the complicationsEspecially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perahaps its just my imaginationD#m C#
Day after day it reappears
D#m C#
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
D#m C# B C#
Ghosts appear and fade awayAlone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperationAt least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night
From overkillDay after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade awayI can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complicationsEspecially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
It's just overkillDay after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

| I found out the real reason this was on scrubs: it turns out that Lazlo Bane, who do "superman" the theme, have a recording studio that Colin Hay (who apeared in that episode as the drifter/patient/dead guy) is somehow connected to so they made the suggestion to scurbs to let him do a song for the show. | |

| I don't think it's necessary to resort to as radical an idea as schizophrenia, though they were certainly treading that ground with "Who Can It Be Now". I think this is clearly just a song about insomnia related to anxiety. I've suffered from it for years, and I can tell you straight out that when it hits, it's better to go for a walk and clear your head rather than try to fight it out "alone between the sheets". You look at the stars, chill out, and that nullifies the "overkill", the unnecessary worrying about situations you know will be okay. What a fantastic song. | |

| I love this song...I really do. What it's about? Well, I'm thinking it's about this person who is thinking about situations that they're stuck in. This thing is driving him nuts, and he can't do much. The line "Ghosts appear and fade away..." is like the flashbacks of the situations. He knows they'll be alright but still, he worries about them. Everyday, the situations reappear, and there's no way for him to make them go away. Kind of reminds me of my own situations....right now, a whole bunch of my friends are pretty much estranged from each other. We still barely talk, and it is sure as hell not the same. I think about these things all time. My friends are now those ghosts that appear and fade away. I guess that's why the show Scrubs used this song. It's just overkill....that's all... | |

| This is a great song, one of my personal favourites as an Aussie. Colin Hay also does an incredible accoustic version of this on one of his more recent solo albums. Worth a listen. Cheers... | |
