The Wallflowers - Eat You Sleeping Lyrics

The Wallflowers Lyrics

"Eat You Sleeping"

Heart wears the body and the body wears shirts
Beneath my sleeping bag my heart sits in the dirt
They'll eat you sleeping

But in my pillowcase I've got you hummingbird
They'll eat you sleeping

I never should have bet my life when you only bet your sex appeal
They'll eat you sleeping
They'll eat you sleeping
They'll eat you sleeping

You said that we were gonna take this train alive
They'll eat you sleeping

You as the engineer, me your concubine
They'll eat you sleeping

Now no one's living in my dreams
Only phantoms wanna be with me
They'll eat you sleeping
They'll eat you sleeping
They'll eat you sleeping

I let you supervise and you made me destroyed
I made you qualified, you made me whipping boy
The ones you shouldn't want are the ones you want more
I let you look inside and you butchered right through
A little truth in every lie helps it go down smooth
They'll eat you sleeping

In this asylum of fear she knew no devil that could keep us here
This hummingbird I took her word, my only souvenir
Oh but they'll just eat you sleeping
Oh they'll eat you sleeping
The ones you trust, eat you sleeping
Honest they'll just... eat you sleeping
