Eat You Sleeping - The Wallflowers

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)
