Protecting you
Protecting me
I throw the evidence into a trunk
And drop it in the seaLie awake
I sleep awake
I sleep with eye on the bedroom door
The other on the cakeProtecting me
Protecting you
Carving away our finger prints out of
Our finger tips until they're smoothLie awake
I sleep awake
I sleep with one hand on my royal flush
The other on the take
Sleep awakeProtecting this
Protecting that
Call it a dead beat with his dead bolt
Wrapped around his artifact
Protecting thatLie awake
I sleep awake
I sleep with one had on my 45
The other 'round my baby's waistLie awake
I sleep awake
I go to bed with all my lights turned on
So I don't slip away
I stay awake
Out on the street I keep a started car
Who only waits for me
ConvenientlyLie awake
I sleep awake
Lie awake
I sleep awake
