Sleep will pass us by 歌詞

I keep thinkin' that she's goin' down My second sight a fixed on her demise A slow and silent stretch, broods like the riverbed Swirlin' round the big and muddy rise Sulfur colored lights, and frozen rays Lighin' up the streets behind the bar The lights are weak and dim, like the memory of our kin Disgraced by curses best not learned at all Sleep will pass us by It's much too slow for that This town died but they forgot the funeral When this town died, they forgot the funeral Ill afford and ill equiped Fever-eyed surrender to the rains The cottonwoods wash locusts from their hair It's hard to know just what the daylight brings Sleep will pass us by It's much too slow for that This town died but they forgot the funeral When this town died, they forgot the funeral Scapegoat heart and scarecrow legs Nothin' in your pockets worth a dime A trifling animal, the packhorse of our pride Leaves the room and carries on so stubbornly Sleep will pass us by It's much too slow for that This town died but they forgot the funeral When this town died, they forgot the funeral
