You had a lion's head
and a dragon's tongue that ran blue whenever it bled
You had a gun in your eyes
and your pockets full of notes to plagiarise
I keep on thinking if I sleep too long
will I wake up and find the walls have flown away
and if I'm drinking in a song
and I'm sober in bed, am I a hypocrite?
and if I sleep too long
will you steal my teeth while I'm asleep
and will I wake up with a mouthful of blood and a fistful of hair?
You had a face full of knives
and a thousand little men to take over our lives
...
You kept a girl on the run
until she found out what your brothers and sisters had become
I keep on thinking if I sleep too long
will I wake up and find the walls have flown away
and if I'm drinking in a song
and I'm sober in bed, am I a hypocrite?
and if I sleep too long
will you steal my teeth while I'm asleep
and will I wake up with a mouthful of blood and a fistful of hair?
