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
