Most people know Men at Work from the incessantly popular Who Can It Be Now. But I think I like this song, Overkill, more. It soothes me. It’s one of those songs I can listen to over and over again, just have it on repeat on iTunes and be a happy girl. Maybe it’s because the past few (hell, five) years have been so full of decisions and changes for me that I like listening to a song that reminds me that I’m not the only person who has ever thought about breaking free, about leaving my comfort zone …

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 we’ll be alright

Perhaps its just 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
COME BACK ANOTHER DAY

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

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