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 (eee) 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 Ahh, ahh Ahh, ahh
