Sleep Awake

Protecting you Protecting me I throw the evidence into a trunk And drop it in the sea Lie awake I sleep awake I sleep with one eye on the bedroom door The other on the cake Protecting me Protecting you Carving away our fingerprints Out of our fingertips until they're smooth Lie awake I sleep awake I sleep with one eye on my royal flush The other on the take I sleep awake Protecting this Protecting that Calling a deadbeat with his dead boat Wrapped around his artifact Protecting that Lie awake I sleep awake I sleep with one hand on my .45 The other 'round my baby's waist Lie awake I sleep awake I go to bed with all my lights turned on So I don't slip away I stay awake Out on the street I keep a started car Who only waits for me, conveniently Lie awake I sleep awake Lie awake I sleep awake Ah, ah --- Sleep Awake - Mother Mother
