Sleeper 1972 Lyrics by Manchester Orchestr
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
When my dad died
The worms ate out both his eyes
His soul flew right up in the sky
I cried myself to sleep

My mother lies
Alone on her back at night
Adding up hours till her demise
She counts herself to sleep

When my sister finds
My body closed up like the blinds
I tell her I promise, it's fine
But she cries herself to sleep

The men in black ties
Arrive at the house in surprise
To find a little girl by your side
In the wood box where you're sleeping

I still see you
Inside of this god-awful house
You move awfully quiet now
And I still feel you everywhere

You told me
This has always been worth livin'
But what's really worth
Living anymore?
When my dad died   The worms ate out both his eyes   His soul flew right up in the sky   I cried myself to sleep      My mother lies   Alone on her back at night   Adding up hours till her demise   She counts herself to sleep      When my sister finds   My body closed up like the blinds   I tell her I promise, it's fine   But she cries herself to sleep      The men in black ties   Arrive at the house in surprise   To find a little girl by your side   In the wood box where you're sleeping      I still see you   Inside of this god-awful house   You move awfully quiet now   And I still feel you everywhere      You told me   This has always been worth livin'   But what's really worth   Living anymore?
