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 eye on the bedroom door

The other on the cake

Protecting me

Protecting you

Carving away our finger prints out of

Our finger tips until they're smooth

Lie awake

I sleep awake

I sleep with one hand on my royal flush

The other on the take

Sleep awake

Protecting this

Protecting that

Call it a dead beat with his dead bolt

Wrapped around his artifact

Protecting that

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
