Butterglory - When We Sleep lyrics

When we sleep we'll think of tornadoes The kind that will tear down this town And I know there can always be heroes Who never look up but always down And the cold fronts will be met with the warm ones The TVs and sirens will all be on guard Up with the new and down with the old sons It's when you can't sleep that you try too hard The new ones always try to beat the old Underneath the sirens try to take control The warm front's heading straight into the cold And everything's beginning to unfold I could pretend that I was a new king And all of my laws would all be obeyed We both know that you wouldn't do anything But try to break every law that I made So keep your barbed wire and your electric fence posts For your kennel and for your pond And next time the clouds come in from the west coast Wait for the funnels and stay bended and calm The new ones always try to beat the old Underneath the sirens try to take control The warm front's heading straight into the cold And everything's beginning to unfold
