John Moreland - Losing Sleep Tonight lyrics

Tie your hands to riot Speak up to be quiet Make a list of every debt I owe Let's line the streets with curses Then turn them all to torches I've never felt a loneliness this cold So send up three more wishes Count my hits and misses Bury me in a box with my mistakes Cause this lonely room's a prison And these fictional women They fade away the longer I'm awake [Chorus:] Are you busy serving sentences To prodigals and priests Drowning in the sea of tears you're crying Are you worried that you're happier At war than at peace Baby are you losing sleep tonight like I am Oh are you losing sleep tonight like I am So you keep making up more reasons To justify such treason You can keep my poisoned ashes in your urn But goddamn these dire visions And this swimming in religion You can tell them all you stood and watched me burn [Chorus x2]
