Sleepy

from Erika by Dead Kings of Norway

lyrics

Are you sleepy?
Sleep, sleep, sleep
When the world wakes up where are you?
Are you laughing?
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Leave it up to you.

It's fifteen hours away
Fifteen hours 'til fate
Snaps out of the trance that you could call awake.

Relax and relax and relax that face, there's nothing shocking to you
I can throw that shade, we can hide love behind grenades
Chalk it up to the way the boredom's grabbing all our fame
And what you can't pump in your veins stays the same.

What a waste of a perfectly good embrace
And I can smell it in the latex that invades your space
It's killing in the lone star sockets and the blue collar pockets of the last man left in this place
You know he ain't got a clue that he's the raddest and the baddest motherfucker
Who wants to come around and teach some respect, and come correct

Go low, go broke if you wanna be a big shot, go home
It can feel like a long night
It can feel like nothing at all if your eyes are closed tight
Don't hear it at all if you're zipped up behind you're break-up
All these lonely souls go turn to stone

We've stocked cough drops, cigarettes, and lollipops
And I can see your blood pressure drop
Keep talking about the cool highs and low-fi, and all your friends living in cities with the drive-by
The power, the glory, the contempt is yours all night
When the lance hits you in your side, you'll bleed with pride

Those lonely eyes couldn't be surprised by another lover
Sitting on the head of the fates around the night
On these lonely nights wouldn't it feel better to feel something better?

Go low, go broke if you wanna be a big shot, go home
It can feel like a long night
It can feel like nothing at all if your eyes are closed tight
Don't hear it at all if you're zipped up behind you're break-up
All these lonely souls go turn to stone
