Our second song we ever wrote together in the history of the world. Did our best work on this one tucked away in the lovely St. Luke’s Garden on Hudson Street in the West Village. Closed Mondays.

KEEP ME UP  Margolis, Rosler
 
 
you used to
keep me up
with a toss or turn or kick
if something’s got you worried sick
I’d ease your mind
 
and could you keep me up
cause you crave a midnight snack
you need me to rub your back
you can’t unwind
 
 oh why did I always moan and groan about
 the lack of sleep on account of you
 and all those nights I’d shout,
 “hey cut it out, why can’t you be still”
 since your gone I sleep enough for two
 
won’t you keep me up
cause you thought you heard a noise
our little girl is talking boys
oh how time flies
 
come on over and wake me up
cause you’re so damn mad at me
you just have to share a dream of our goodbye
 
   when you used to keep me up
   it was our time to reconcile
   I was too eager to turn out the lights
   saying can’t it wait awhile
 
now these things keep me up
the ticking of the clock
each chance that I have lost
to make things right
won’t you keep me up
with anything tonight
oh won’t you keep me up
with anything tonight
