Neko Case - Vengeance Is Sleeping lyrics

I didn't know what a brute I was I dipped my cigarette and rode the bus Vengeance built me hastily And I drag the clanging notion I was nobody, nobody Nobody All I had was my invention And my love it fitted on you Oh, look what thoughts can do What thoughts can do If you're not by now dead and buried You're most certifiably married Oh, married I'm sure you're sleeping sound With a mistress of the hours The hours that grind your life to dust Oh, easy loves You keep lap pets Denied them you are powerless Whatever keeps you sleeping through the night I'm not the man you thought I was My love has never lived indoors I had to drag it home by force Hired hounds at both my wrists Damp and bruised by stranger's kisses on my lips But you're the one that I still miss You're the one that I still miss And the truth is that it comes as no surprise I'm not the man you think I am I'm not the man you think I am
