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 one eye on the 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 boat 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

Lie awake

I sleep awake

Lie awake

I sleep awake

Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
