Vengeance Is Sleeping |
| I didn’t know what a brute I was |
| I dipped my cigarette and rode the bus |
| Vengeance built me hastily |
| And I dragged the clanging notion |
| I was nobody, nobody |
| Nobody |
| All I had was my intention |
| And my love invented all of you |
| Oh look what thoughts can do What thoughts can do If you’re not run-out, dead and buried |
| You’re most certifiably married, oh married |
| I’m sure you’re sleeping sound |
| With the mistress of the hours |
| The hours that grind your life to dust |
| Your easy loves you keep like pets |
| Denied them you are powerless |
| Whatever keeps you sleeping through the night |
| I’m not the man you thought I was |
| My love has never lived indoors |
| I’ve had to drag it home by force |
| Hired hounds at both my wrists |
| Damp and bruised by strangers' kisses on my lips |
| But you’re the one that I still miss |
| You’re the one that I still miss |
| And it’s ruthless that it comes as no surprise |
| I’m not the man you think I am |
| I’m not the man you think I am |
