[Verse 1]
Saw the light I'd heard so much about
On the motorway heading south
And it came through the night, above the trees and I heard a choir
Each voice was louder than the last
I was on that bus while she hummed her lullaby
Still I couldn't go to sleep
Those distant lights bled into the sky
The whole carriage shook
Still I couldn't sleep
[Chorus]
Don't try to rock me to sleep now
I refuse to be torn from everything in this life I just learned how to be cold, how to breathe and how to live, how to die and be reborn
[Verse 2]
I was the meat in a sandwich
The sky and the earth were bread
She swallowed me up poor mother
It had been so long since she'd fed
To be swept up in her current
To leave the land for dead
What more what more
Could anybody wish for
[Chorus]
Don't try to rock me to sleep now
I refuse to taking time from everything in this life, just learn how to be cold
How to breathe and how to live
How to die miserable
