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
|
Ahhh...ahhh...
|
