Verse 1
You Had A Dream About Me
I Ran Off With Your Dad
You Woke Up The Next Morning
Sawed Your Shotgun Right In Half
N.c.
You Burst Into My Room
Forgot To Knock, Or Didn’t Care
Put The Muzzle To My Pillow
Blasted Feathers In The Air
Verse 2
And I Sprang Up From The Bed
And I Kicked You In The Gut
You Coughed Up All The Love Letters
You’d Eaten In The Night
Looking For The Right Words
But Not Wanting To Waste
All The Sentiment You’d Whipped Up
You Love That Funny Taste
And We Sat Among The Wreckage
And Your Walls Were Up To Here
Chorus
Don’t You Recognize
The One Who Sings You To Sleep?
Don’t You Recognize
The Voice That Gives Your Mind Relief?
I’d Never Ever Leave You, Not Even In My Dreams
Don’t You Recognize
The One Who Sings You To Sleep?
Verse 3
I Had A Dream You Had
A Perfect Life With Some Lawyer
Combined Salary Of Half A Mil
And A Couple High-Strung Daughters
N.c.
You Hired Me For My Services
I Couldn’t Keep My Cool
I Lit Up Every Candle
And Wept Us Both A Pool
Verse 4
I Adorned You Like A Pharaoh
You Said You’d Still Go Home
Then I Danced Before The Mirror
And You Said You Could Postpone
I Said, We’ll Run Away To Greece
On A Symphony Of Strings
I Can Bring My Shoebox
You Can Cash Out All Your Savings
And We Picnicked In The Ruins
And My Legs Were Up To There
Chorus
Don’t You Recognize
The One Who Sings You To Sleep?
Don’t You Recognize
The Voice That Gives Your Mind Relief?
I’d Never Ever Leave You, Not Even In My Dreams
Don’t You Recognize
The One Who Sings You To Sleep?
Outro
I Heard You Over Breakfast
Thinking About Destruction
Maybe You Had Yourself
A Rough Night Of Sleep Or Something
I Held A Butter Knife
To Your Carotid Vein
You Loosened Like A Tiger
And Smiled When You Sang,
Don’t You Recognize
The One Who Sings You To Sleep?
