One eye open,
Sleeping like a soldier.
Steel boots on,
Head on a revolver,
And just outside,
Vultures circle in the sky.
Your trip wire's,
Only good to catch you.
Your trap doors,
Only lead to fall through.
In the dark,
You're counting wolves,
To keep you up,
When they bury you with all your gold,
You can never stop it burning holes,
But you'll still want it,
You'll still want it,
You'll still want it.
And they'll bury you with all you own,
'Cause you'll never wanna let it go,
'Cause you can't hold it,
You can't love it,
You can't love it.
Keys for comfort,
Mirror for reflection.
Fly, magpie,
Find me some affection.
This old heart,
Needs diamonds to make it start.
No coin has,
Ever tried to kiss you.
No crown is,
Ever there to hold you,
In the dark,
You're counting wolves,
To keep you up,
When they bury you with all your gold,
You can never stop it burning holes,
But you'll still want it,
You'll still want it,
You'll still want it.
And they'll bury you with all you own,
'Cause you'll never wanna let it go,
'Cause you can't hold it,
You can't love it,
You can't love it.
I saw you sleeping like a soldier,
(I saw you sleeping like a soldier),
k**ing the wolves to stay awake,
(k**ing the wolves to stay awake).
Laying your head on the revolver,
(Laying your head on the revolver),
Spinning the barrel like a safe,
(Spinning the barrel like a safe).
When they bury you with all your gold,
You can never stop it burning holes,
But you'll still want it,
You'll still want it,
You'll still want it.
And they'll bury you with all you own,
'Cause you'll never wanna let it go,
'Cause you can't hold it,
You can't love it,
You can't love it.
