Let Me Sleep - DeVotchKa

Oh my love

It won’t Let me sleep

It pulls the blankets right off of my feet

It tears the very fabric of my dream

And my heart, won’t let me leave

It’s pealing itself off my sleeve

It’s feeding me false memories

We turn dust into diamonds

And words into birds

Promise me passage all over the world

The truth is we never get past the front door

I settle my debt, but I always want more

More, more, more

More, more, more

Out here

Is the last place I wanted to be

A foot soldier in your standing army

With my best years somewhere far behind me

Now here

Lies a golden opportunity

While you’re sifting through all the debris

I can go some fine place where you’ll never find me

You’re miles behind me

You’ll never find me, now

All this love

Will end as cold

You get the vials with things you don’t know

But you’ll feel it deep down in your soul

And know, only time can tell

If I go in your prison cell

Is this the road to heaven?

Or will we burn in hell?

Your youth springs eternal

You never grow old

Your truth looks perverted, encrusted in gold

I have forgotten what I came here for

My cup running over

But I still want more

More, more, more

More, more, more

Out here is the last place I wanted to be

A foot soldier in your standing army

With my best years somewhere far behind me

Now here

Is a golden opportunity

While you’re sifting through all the debris

I can go some fine place where you’ll never find me

You’re miles behind me

You’ll never find me, now

Oh, my love, set me free

Forget me

Let me sleep

Oh, my love, set me free

Forget me

Let me sleep
