Being all alone with no one to count on makes me feel good

But sometimes when I lay awake at night

I pull the sharp edges of my life into me

And I hold them tightly

And I hold them tightly

They'll go to bed with me

And Put them to sleep for the night

Pull it all inside

Sanity is waiting

Put them to sleep for the night

Pull it all inside

Sanity is waiting

It's waiting Some man came to me and said "Son, I got a bad life ahead

And behind me I'm in the streets "

And as I walk away I heard him shout sharp edges of his life at me

And I hold them guilty

And I hold them guilty

I saved the quarters for me

And Put them to sleep for the night

Pull it all inside

Sanity is waiting

Put them to sleep for the night

Pull it all inside

Sanity is waiting

It's waiting I dream of one day having someone to tell not to

Play in the streets and show him to the world

And when I'm old and gray I'll pull those sharp edges of my life into me

And I'll hold them peacefully

Just save a plot for me

Put them to sleep for the night

Pull it all inside

Sanity is waiting

Put them to sleep for the night

Pull it all inside

Sanity is waiting It's waiting
