(You Can't) Sleep With Me

You look at me and I can tell
That you don't like me very well.
I'll have you know that when I'm gone
There'll be no one to carry on.
So say the things you want to say.
I won't forbid you, it's okay.
You only show what you don't know.
There's only so far you can go...

You can't sleep with me.
You can't tell me anything.
You can't sleep with me no more.

My lucky penny is long since spent
On Lifes Rich Pageant and Document.
And all the things that make life real.
That helped me laugh and helped me heal.
The shine has now worn off my skin.
But my volume is still maximum.
I'll keep on going 'til I drop.
'Cos I know that that's not too far off...

You can't sleep with me.
You can't tell me anything.
You can't sleep with me no more.
You can't sleep with me.
You can't tell me anything.
You can't sleep with me no more.

Are kisses deadly when blood is spilt?
Is the game all over when we tilt?
I've walked through fire on broken glass.
So let me know when I can pass.
These wounds they mean a lot to me.
I take my failings seriously.
Midnight comes at three plus nine.
My prince is gone and so am I...

You can't sleep with me.
You can't tell me anything.
You can't sleep with me no more.
You can't sleep with me.
You can't tell me anything.
You can't sleep with me no more.
You can't sleep with me.
You can't tell me anything.
You can't sleep with me no more.
