Sleeper - What Do I Get? Lyrics

Sleeper Lyrics

"What Do I Get?"

A brilliant disguise
The secrets and lies
The idiots and the jokers
The camera pans wide
And nobody tried
To bring the whole thing in focus

And all you believe in
Turns you down again

Your vision is blurred
Bleak and absurd
Your brain on a long vacation
And when you were born
Conceived on bad porn
They stole your imagination

And all you believe in
Turns you down again

I don't eat
I don't speak
I just sing myself to sleep
What do I get?
What do I get?
You don't eat
And you don't breathe
You just ruin everything
What do I get?
What do I get?

So why don't you split
Grab your own bit
Won't do you any good though
As hard as you hit
Nothing will fit
Your cavities and your furrows

And all you believe in
Will turn you down again

As far as it goes
We never came close
To calling ourselves together
The wintery snows
The deepening lows and
Nobody watched the weather

And all you believe in
Brings you down again

And I don't eat
I don't speak
I just sing myself to sleep
What do I get?
What do I get?
You don't wanna eat
And you don't speak
You just ruin everything
What do I get?
What do I get?
What do I get?
What do I get?
