Sleep |
| Now I love all the seven deadly sins |
| I love to watch them smile on the celebrity smile show |
| You know that’s the show where everybody wins |
| A fabulous tour of the hell they already know |
| And some people know how to trap the light |
| Like a bird in flight traps the sun |
| Some keep their lump of coal safely out of sight |
| Thinking that one day it’ll turn into a diamond |
| If I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep — |
| A pedal steel guitar simple and clean — |
| If I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep |
| Maybe you’d hear it all through your dream |
| Now altar boys look good in lace |
| But they’re not known for their guts or their good nature |
| Goodness is not some pretty picture you paint |
| It’s shaking your fist into the face of danger |
| If I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep — |
| Sleep is the only gift that they give you — |
| If I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep |
| Maybe you’ll have a dream you want to come true |
| Some saviors weep and weep |
| And they think their tears are gonna sew the world together |
| Some saviors live in trouble deep |
| And die knowing nothing more than failure |
| If I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep — |
| Maybe it could save you |
| If I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep |
| Maybe it would save you |
