Sleeping in Angels' Beds

from Whaling Wails by Wailing Whales

/

lyrics

I keep calling
But you don't ever answer
I call, but you make all the calls
Well my soul's getting tired
Better head off to bed
We're sleeping in angel's beds now

And I find that the deepest desires
Usually go unfulfilled
Is that why they're so deep? if so may we weep
For the millions that have gone silently before

Sleeping in the angels' beds
Well the world shouted my name
But I wasn't there
no I'm without a care
may this world forget about me
Well when I looked in your eyes
All I saw were porcelain skies

and this girl that I once called my lover
I think she's moving away
well that's ok I can't really blame her
there's nothing going on here anyway

but all these bastards and beggars who try to
bring me down and take all I have
well I'm just sleeping in an angel's bed
and they can just get out of my head

Well the doctor lost his pride now
Think he left it inside me
Along with a pair of scissors and a new heart
But it's not quite cutting it
These scissors do more damage than good
and I can't even feel it beat

Sleeping in the angels' beds
Well the world shouted my name
But I wasn't there
no I'm without a care
may this world forget about me
Well when I looked in your eyes
All I saw were porcelain skies

Cause when you sleep in Angels' beds
It doesn't mean you wear the halo
And when you rest your weary head
It doesn't mean you're an angel

and now I could cry
but I might unexpectedly die
and then who would be at the blame?
so I carry on with this torn up heart
and I know that I can't be a part
of anything

Sleeping in the angels' beds
Well the world shouted my name
But I wasn't there
no I'm without a care
may this world forget about me
Well when I looked in your eyes
All I saw were porcelain skies
