Neko Case - Vengeance Is Sleeping lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I didn't know what a brute I was <br>

I dipped my cigarette and rode the bus <br>

Vengeance built me hastily <br>

And I drag the clanging notion I was nobody, nobody <br>

Nobody <br>

<br>

All I had was my invention <br>

And my love it fitted on you <br>

Oh, look what thoughts can do <br>

What thoughts can do <br>

If you're not by now dead and buried <br>

You're most certifiably married <br>

Oh, married <br>

<br>

I'm sure you're sleeping sound <br>

With a mistress of the hours <br>

The hours that grind your life to dust <br>

<br>

Oh, easy loves <br>

You keep lap pets <br>

Denied them you are powerless <br>

Whatever keeps you sleeping through the night <br>

<br>

I'm not the man you thought I was <br>

My love has never lived indoors <br>

I had to drag it home by force <br>

Hired hounds at both my wrists <br>

Damp and bruised by stranger's kisses on my lips <br>

But you're the one that I still miss <br>

You're the one that I still miss <br>

And the truth is that it comes as no surprise <br>

<br>

I'm not the man you think I am <br>

I'm not the man you think I am<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
