Lyrics Eat You Sleeping - The Wallflowers

Eat You Sleeping

Heart wears the body
and the body wears the 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
Well 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 asked the engineer
Kneel, 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
Ooooooooh
Ooooooooh
I let you supervise
and you made me destroyed
And I made you qualified
and you made me whipping boy
The ones you shouldn’t want
are the ones you want more
Well 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
But they’ll just eat you sleeping (eat you sleeping)
Oh they’ll eat you sleeping (eat you sleeping)
The ones you trust (eat you sleeping)
Honest they’ll just eat you sleeping (eat you sleeping)
