Mother Mother - Sleep Awake Lyrics

[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]
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
Calling a deadbeat with his dead bolt wrapped around his artifact
Protecting that

[Chorus 2]
Lie awake, I sleep awake
I sleep with one hand on my 45, the other 'round my baby's waist

[Bridge]
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]

[Outro]
Lie awake, I sleep awake
Lie awake, I sleep awake
Ahhh, ahhh
Ahhh, ahhh
