Sleep Will Pass Us By Lyrics by Chris & Carla

Life Full of Holes

0

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
