Sleep Awake

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus 1]

Lie awake, I sleep awake

I sleep with one eye on my royal flush, the other on the take

I sleep awake

[Verse 2]

Protecting this, protecting that

Callin' a deadbeat with his dead bolt 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

[Chorus 2]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Lie awake, I sleep awake

Lie awake, I sleep awake

Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

[Outro]

La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da da da, na-na-na-na na na
