Shrinkwrapped Songtext

von Sleeper

Closed your eyes and left me here
And now I'm jealous of your sleep
I made some noise to wake you up
It seems you've drifted out of reach

I'm not sure if you meant what you said
But that's o.k.
Cos it still sounded good
When you said it anyway
I'm not sure where you are
When I turn and stroke your face
You don't move anymore
So it must be getting late

I'm not tired even now
I think I'm glad to be awake
I've met these fractured thoughts before
They grin and wander round this place

I'll get up all I find
Is a paper that I hate
Real life disappears
And gets shrinkwrapped in its place
I get up watch TV
Helps me feed my vicious streak
Real life disappears

Then we watch the spooks on the news
Playing chess with the cynics
Hope you die in the arms of your shrinks in your clinics
Now it's gone 5 a.m.

We smile and plan our revenge
By the end the night has found its true friends
Up all hours sketching a thousand great schemes
Maybe I'm not too tired to colour them in

You closed your eyes and left me here
And now I'm jealous of your sleep
I made some noise to wake you up
It seems you've drifted out of reach

I'm not sure if you meant what you said
But that's o.k.
Cos it still sounded good
When you said it anyway

I get up watch TV
Helps me feed my vicious streak
Real life disappears

Then we watch the spooks on the news
Playing chess with the cynics
Hope you die in the arms of your shrinks in your clinics
Now it's gone 5 a.m.

We smile and plan our revenge
By the end the night has found its true friends
Up all hours sketching a thousand great schemes
Maybe I'm not too tired to colour them in

5 a.m. we smile and plan our revenge
By the end the night has found its true friends
Up all hours sketching a thousand great schemes
Maybe I'm not too tired to colour them

I get what I want and I'm not sure to get
Get what I want and I'm not sure to get
Get what I want and I'm not sure to get
Get what I want and I'm not sure I want it anymore
