Mother Mother - Sleep Awake Lyrics

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 my bedroom door
The other on the cake
Protecting me (me)
Protecting you (ooh)
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 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

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

(Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)

Lie awake
I sleep awake
Lie awake
I sleep awake
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

La, da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da, da
Da-da, da-da, da-da
